Washington state is bad off too, at least in some areas. They have declared
us to be in drought. No water restrictions yet but only because they said
they think they can trust us to restrict on our own anyway. Apparently we
got plenty of water down here where we live but not nearly enough up in the
mountains and that's where our water supply comes from. There is a natural
spring near here that offers free water for the taking. I've just never
done it because there is only a small parking lot and any time I have gone
by there, the lot was full and then some. Plus there would be storage
issues. And you have to bring your own containers.
