Let's connect the dots
 

#1 Northern California was and is facing a drought.

#2 So, Let's Impose water rationing plans. 15% per household

#3 Good job you residents. :thumbup: You came thru. The East Bay Municipal
Utility District is planning to end water rationing in either July or October,
thanks to near-normal snowfall in the central Sierra watershed it depends on.

#4 Now for the bad news. Conservation-minded customers are using
less water and that has caused a cut in the district's revenue.:(

#5 So you conservation minded customers heres what we are going to do.
The district may opt to keep higher drought rates in place through the summer.

Why??? If the drought rates are dropped and customers continue to
conserve, the district "will collect less revenue than the amount
budgeted, And therefore we will need to charge you more for your water.:dunno:

Bottom line? Use too much we're gonna charge you up the ying yang.
Conserve to much we're gonna charge you anyway. IDIOTS...:rolleyes:
