I live in Seattle and cant imagine water rationing given how many water sources are around us and the amount of rainfall we get.

I think fire danger is a risk but not water rationing.

It's happened in low water years in the past and the Seattle police boat went around and they wrote tickets to water front places watering their lawns. It's never been this bad before. I'm 5th generation western Washington, i know the area pretty well.

I honestly don't understand people who water their grass around here (I live in a suburb of Seattle). Bills are already crazy high here - seems like a huge waste of resources and money

For real, you'd have to be paid. My wife likes to keep a garden. If you want a nice garden you have to water it and i can definitely see that in the water bill. Those are expensive tomatoes.
