Response to Jennifer Lynn Logan's Running out of tap water blog

Jennifer raises some very good suggestions in response to reading the article about Norman running out of tap water. Yes, Norman used 1.5 million gallons more water than usual, but with the growing population isn't that normal? We can not expect the usage to remain static when there are more and more people moving to the Norman area, causing a drain on the existing resources!

They should reexamine their city budget and do what is necessary to get bring more water in or get the filtration system that would clean the water. Like Jennifer pointed out, if you make and enforce laws about water usage, then more people would become aware, and those that feel that they are above the rules--and you know you will have some that do--can be fined 2000 dollars, which can be put into a fund earmarked for this expensive filtration system.

I think if this was such a problem, the city would find a way to rectify it.
