It's been a little rainy in California.
Ya' know what fries my chops? When we were in a drought, the water company raised our rates to a tiered system based on how much water one used. Then, after some time had passed, the water companies decided they weren't making enough money because people were following drought instructions and letting yards die etc. so they decided a rate hike was in order again. Because they weren't selling enough water.
Now we have a year like this. More water than we know what to do with--literally. All this talk about improving infrastructure but are the powers that be racing out to build more reservoirs or other means of capturing water (especially for our water starved, agricultural central valley)? Nope. So, this year is peachy but in two years we could easily be in a drought again because there are no efforts (that I know of) to build multiple, massive options to store water from years like this.
Idiots. Raising my water bill...think they'll drop the rates back down now that people may begin using their pools again and watering their plants in the summer time? I think not. What goes up doesn't always come down again. Assholes.
