RE: Water update/poachers

["Dena Marchant" <denam@wsu.edu>]

I can't speak for other poachers, but I fill
two 50-gallon drums of water every other week.
They supply my water needs for two weeks, unless
it rains and my cistern fills.  I pay the suggested 
two dollar donation.

This is a small amount of water compared to the 
average urban user.  According to the American Water 
Works Association: 

+ The average household uses 350 gallons of water a day.

+ The average 1/4 acre lawn can use over 3,000 gallons of water a week.

Ah--there are people (not tourists) who poach the water on a
regular basis. I can understand your being upset about that.
