Friends,
There are mandatory water restrictions in Los Angeles and San Diego going on right this very minute. You get to water your lawns on Monday and Thursdays now. Oh, there’s more for the flatlanders to take in. The dean of Los Angeles political reporting Rick Orlov poses the hypothetical…
Residents who fail to achieve the 15 percent reduction in their allotment can expect to see their bimonthly bills to increase from $83.52 to $92.35. If they do reduce consumption by 15 percent, the bills are expected to drop to $71.59.
Yay, recession!
This won’t harm anybody at all. Thankfully, the dysfunctional Idyllwild Water District doesn’t have anything to do with the DWP. Not that they won’t take a cue from the nonsense down below and raise rates up here.
Well, at least we won’t have to worry about utility increases from cap and trade “nasty carbon” taxes.
Oh, wait…
– bob
