Insert picnic Anakin looking meme here.
The tentatively adopted curtailment strategy also includes additional fees that could be charged to all types of customers that use more water than allowed, starting with $4 per 1,000 gallons over their allocation and subsequently rising to $8 per 1,000 gallons over their baseline. Federal and state government users, however, would be exempt from these surcharges.
A $8 per 1,000 gallon fee is an ineffective deterrent; they need effective penalties that no one is exempt from.
Just burn the refinery down.
