I've seen there's some outrage about Georgia "mansions" using what
some consider exorbitant amounts of water.


Just one, the guy claimed that his on-going gardening was to blame,
seems that there once was an exemption for newly landscaped areas, and
the gardener just kept doing it.


I'm interested in knowing from the Georgia guys their thoughts on
that, and what the "buzz" is down there.


Like I say, the guy is in compliance, and has issued a statement
saying that it is *all* of our problems.


Lordy. Got the impression from a CNN piece it was a big deal.

Yeah, I know, I've seen it on all of the world news shows for days,
local news, CNN, Fox, etc. and it's always the same house they show!
Now, the guy did go to extremes, using enough water to supply a large
subdivision! The guy seems truly remorseful for the deal, but who
knows, it may just be lip service!
