Hi Bill,
Swimming pools are a problem.If they go below a certain point, they can't run and the algae goes wild without circulation. THe heat is evaporating about an inch a day from ours. We let it go as low as we can before it starts to suck air and then add as little as possible to keep it high enough. They haven't said anything yet about pools, but lawn watering is strictly enforced. We're on Day 40 of over 100 degrees and I think it's 27 in a row with no rain in sight.
It's very hard on old people (no, not me--real old people - that's anyone older than I).

We had a drought for several years it seemed...limited toilet flushing, short showers, no lawn mowing . Then the big expose in the paper on who the big residential water users were.........the CEO of the rather large company I was working for at the time was at the top of the list.
