Droughts come and go, but one thing stays: When you have a scarce resource, it has to be priced appropriately to force some conservation. Water is not really priced that way, and in many cases, it is not even metered. My apartment, for example does not have a water consumption meter... NYC is a unique situation. I don't know of any building in any other American city that's not metered for water. And from what I understand NYC's biggest problem is not unmetered buildings but leaky pipes.......NY's water pipes leak millions of gallons of water each day. Speaking of which, has that new pipe coming down from the Catskills been completed yet? As for conservation, I can only speak to the subject from a western perspective. When the people of CA, OR or WA state are asked to conserve, they usually conserve more than they are required. In fact conservation has become a way of life in CA.
