Remember what I said about the Corps dredging in South Alabama. The Alabama politicians and lobbyists demanded and received water from Allatoona and Carters in Georgia. Now we're going to pay. Really makes you wonder.

When the Corps cuts back flow in Georgia, guess who makes up the difference--Lake Martin.

Sonny was the first to actually move to sue the Corps wasn't he? Instead of just sending a "sternly written" letter???

Could someone please explain how they first thought to cut back water use for landscaping, car wash, etc. this month in Atlanta when we've had those restrictions in place all summer in Birmingham? Surely anyone could see this coming.....

Not looking to stir up anything, but just to pass along information F1Fan.....but there has been a ban on metro Atlanta water for about 2 or 3 years at a minimum where you could only water on an every other day basis(odd/even), and a dramatic change in the rate structure for water such that every additional gallon you used was made more expensive, rather than the old declining block rate that was in effect for so long. That has made my typical monthly bill go from $35- $40 on average to $100- $120 for the same usage. This has been very effective in my instance to cut down.......but the drought is taking its toll here and there.

evin - I was unaware of that. I was in ATL several weeks ago when the headline stories were about implementing water restrictions and the stories made it sound like it was a completely new procedure, not simply a story about the ongoing/continued enforcement of these policies.

That was about the same day they started trying to make snow on Stone Mountain IIRC.........

Yup.. Atl has been on water restrictions for a couple of years now.....the drought has gotton worse here and the water levels reflect that......

They keep adding additional items to existing restrictions and that is what makes the news.
