In California, Spigots Start Draining Pockets. (The New York Times, 5/8/2014)
Mr. Irritable is living in a fantasy world where water supplies...are there 100 percent of the time, with 100 percent of reliability. The message irritates some people, particularly those with mansions surrounded by lush lawns and ornamental plantings. One person from a district just south of here was playing golf with Mr. Quinn at a Monterey country club recently. When he learned that his golf partner worked in water services, the man complained bitterly about his $5,000 monthly bill. Mr. Quinn replied, “I think your water agency is trying to tell you something.”
