Some residents in Oakland, which is located south of Apopka(now you know exactly where), are outraged over the proposed limit on water and said the rapid growth in the area must stop until there is no longer a shortage.
Said resident "Susan":
I don't understand why they are allowing them to still build if the water supply is not there. And, why should we be cut?One hundred gallons a day. Almost two 55 gallon drums full of water. That is a hell of a lot of water to someone like me, who was raised in arid New Mexico. We had to pump our own water from four hundred feet down, so we lived a life of water rationing and were quite accustomed to it. No twenty-minute showers, no automatic dish washer, no water-guzzling automatic clothes washer, and any landscaping we had was "natural" landscaping that required no watering, a feature I loved, since there was no huge lawn that needed constant care and cutting.
It's not at a difficult to use less than a hundred gallons a day if you quit being totally wasteful.
Just wait until the cost of potable water starts reflecting its scarcity. Poor little residents like "Susan" will really start wailing.
What ever will happen to us pampered and privledged Americans if we have to start actually washing and rinsing dishes in the sink? Or - heaven forbid - wash and rinse clothes by hand?
The end of civilization as we know it.
