That's pretty agreeable honestly.

As long as they don't start limiting water usage like some places do......

Prohibit draining and filling of existing pools and filling of new pools

Fairhope is currently under a similar water restriction and has been for 10-days or so. It’s stupid. They cited strain on water system and not a lack of water as the reason. Apparently have police and other city utilities employees doing patrols during peak times to monitor.

yep. this is probably the more likely scenario of how people will get ticketed during water conservation restrictions.

Karen can eat a bag of dicks.

My water level gets down below tile to plaster? I’m adding. To not add and just watch water evaporate? Then we get a storm and you didn’t add water before? I’d prefer my pool not to raise out of the ground. Not even an inch or two.

Both of your comments are true. And it sickens me. However, these restrictions have nothing to do with that. They aren't political. They are implementing these measures during a drought in order to conserve water. Every single one of those bullet points seems reasonable to me during a drought.

They ran out?

So no more rain or fresh water for California? Ever?

No wonder people are leaving.

Trying to not run out of water is a liberal conspiracy apparently. Some of yall need to take a break from the politics.

to be clear. Katy isn’t the only SouthEast Texas city to currently have implemented water restrictions on some level.

Tomball, Deer Park, Houston, Fulshear, Pearland, La Porte, and Rosenberg. And that’s just from what I can remember from hearing it on the local news every day. Same last year and that drought was worse.

So you can’t run a pump that uses no water but instead circulates it? They’ll have to explain that one.
