Finally, No More Water Restrictions

What will we do with ourselves now that we can't fret about the water?

On Tuesday, the county lifted its four-month restriction on outdoor water use. The ban had been put in place while the county repaired major water mains serving the eastern part of the county. Here's what the county had to say.

We like the idea of water conservation, regardless of the ban. Then of course, there are a couple pretty dirty cars parked outside....
