That's insane =>:-p
Far better if they'd offred people a good-sized tax credit to cover teh
costs of converting their own systems so as to use their own "grey water".
I've thought of that, and that's even despite the fact that water in this
area is (so far) plentiful.
But forcing people to do it, not only without a tax break, but worse,
*charging* them for it?!?!
I was going to say "what a bunch of morons those officials are" - but then
I realized, they might be smart, if they're using that to further pad their
own pockets =>:-p
