Don't worry, the water issue looks like it will come back with a
vengeance in a couple years.

If congress doesn't step in, we'll loose access to Lanier's water for
drinking then.

Hell I figure with the  beer drinkers around here, we probably piss
out enough excess to make up for the rest of the city, so I don't
understand the problem!

(I actually don't exaggerate all that much.  Most of the water Atlanta
pulls from Lanier is returned after its been used once.  I've
forgotten, but its like 80 or 90% when the watering ban is on.  That's
for Atlanta only since septic tanks aren't that common in town.)
