Come on now. This hasn't shit to do with Texas as a whole. You're painting with a broad brush.

As California’s big cities fail to rein in their water use, rural communities are already tapped out

[Ef-man]

Cheap ass Odessa.

They have 60 year old pipes and do not want to pay $95 million to upgrade.

They get what the deserve. :tu

Nothing can be done

Sorry...just wanted to make the point. Cities make poor decisions outside of the purview of the state government. I'm sure I can find examples in every state of some city fucking up.
But it's not always an indictment on the state.

Fuck me, I thought it was the Odessa in Ukr.

The $95M was to upgrade water treatment plant. Not sure what that has to do with a broken pipe. Water mains fail in SA, too.

Good, keep the water for the blue parts of CA since those rural communities never GAF about global warming anyways.

IDK. From what I've read (which may not be the entire truth), the rich are using water like crazy to keep their acre lots green and their pools full.

I mean...if there is a water shortage, that recycled water needs to go to where it's actually needed.

Failed government. Good thing forest fires don't happen in liberal states.

What do you get from a low information poster? LIP. :lol

You mean drinking it? Not unless I'm really desperate

Anyone with big acreage needs to hook up with recycled water pipes if they use X amount of water per month/year
