You wouldn’t believe the callousness and civic irresponsibility of some people. I say “civic irresponsibility” but it’s straight out civic disobedience.
Hi. My name is Marrick and I was put in charge of policing water usage during the drought season. The law says when a state of drought is declared that water has to be used carefully and is limited to two gallons a day for each household. There is a serious water shortage.
Just the other day I was out in the countryside and I ran into this chicken farmer. I said to him that his vegetable garden looked pretty lush if you ask me, and he said that over the wet winter he had stored water in two large tanks. He needed the water for his chickens and some for his vegetable garden to feed his family during the drought.
I pointed out that he should buy his vegetables like everyone else. He is not above the law. People are suffering. There’s a limit of two gallons a day for each household.
He said he’d saved the water when there was plenty falling from the sky.
Ridiculous! I’ve sent a crew out to his farm to empty the tanks. Two gallons a day is the stipulation. If he protests there’s always the court.
