I guess we won't have to make a decision to drain it, it will just drain itself.

Do you water your lawn? If we were really sad about it we would make changes.

Do you flush your toilet? If we were really sad about it we would make changes.

How much can be attributed to fireworks too?

Think of all the water wasted to fight fires caused by idiots with fireworks.

The issue is they have no disincentive to not use their water rights with a use it or lose it model.

It’s fine. CB tells me KSL is always overreacting to drought and snowpack.
