Hopefully not delving into political issues, but San Jose has nothing on EBMUD. Seven years ago, I turned off my sprinklers, as it was at least $600 a month to run them. Only $200 a month when my wife and daughter are both here and no sprinklers. Tuscaloosa, I think is about $50, with sprinklers. . . .

Several years ago during the last drought, EBMUD asked for a rate increase to discourage water usage. It was granted. That winter we got a ton of rain and the reservoirs filled. EBMUD, because users had cut back water usage so much, asked for an increase in rates to make up for the lost revenue. It was granted. . . .
