Watering restrictions/bans

[irritation]

It's bad around here. Reservoirs and lakes are very low, I have several pumps out of the water. They should have started restrictions a month ago but always wait till it's too late, now they're talking total ban. The town I live in has banned watering since June 29th.

No wonder you're so grumpy! My family in TX says the lakes are low and the farmers are being cut back, some are not even working the dirt.

Crops are toast here, too late for any help.

WE had a very rainy spring so I doubt we will see anything besides the usual ood/even.

I stand corrected, sometimes disaster helps more than normal situations.

Ban went into effect today at noon. Almost all areas I service are banned from watering lawns.

So what does that mean for your biz?

A huge slow down on service calls. Won't mean much to me, my main income is turn-ons and blow outs. It usually slows after spring turn-ons anyways but this year has been crazy. I guess the grass cutters are really feeling it.

Don't take this wrong, will you winterize those systems early and then just focus on the opperational systems at the regular time?
I got screwed over on my water today after taking the day off to get things started off right. Now i won't get h2o until mid to late evening. Friday the 13th dude

CO is ok on water right now, due to the snow from 2010/2011. But if the winter is anything like this past one, we will be in major restrictions again in 2013. Nothing like planting blue grass in a non-native climate, at 6500', in a semi-arid area with 12"-16" total precip on the average.
