oops, forgot the link-o

And here's one this week about how they have to flush the pipes and dump the water in the street, while they put everyone on draught cutbacks.
Sp times

The Tampa Bay area is under strict water restrictions.

Residents can water outside only once a week, on specific days designed to regulate daily use. But don't think that local governments are bound by the same rules.

Take a walk in the southern end of St. Petersburg during the week and you could find streets that look more like swimming holes.

There, two or three times a week, fire hydrants are uncorked and water gushes forth, full steam ahead into the middle of the streets, where it eventually flushes into the bay.

The city disposes of 30-million gallons of drinkable water this way every month. That's enough to fill 1,200 swimming pools.

And St. Petersburg is not alone. Several cities and counties throughout the state, including Pinellas, Hillsborough and Tampa, flush millions of gallons of water on a weekly basis.

Story forgot to add they spent 2 billion bucks to upgrade the systems over the last 1 or 2 decades.
