Don't know about this one, but I assume indoor pools recycle water. Maybe they did the math and figured out that this was okay?

You think they aren't having the exact same conversations with businesses that they did last time?

That would be a literal drop in the bucket. Barely worth mentioning. How many potable water trucks are even available in the city?

Agreed that this should be happening.

The previous shutdown happened when river levels were higher, so they could have flushed the system after the fixes. We're now into lower levels and it won't be going back up, so they won't be able to do that which is why they're talking about it this time.

How do you enforce indoor residential water usage? I think the best they can do is ask and that's about it.
