Voluntary Water Conservation

Filed under: Power outage, Water Conservation — nerdchieftain @ 7:04 am

 

Power has been restored to Downtown Crescent Springs, which means gas and $0.99 Arby-Q’s are back in my town.  Traffic lights are working, although Collins & Buttermilk is not yet.

However, Butler Co (next door to Kenton Co) has an emergency water conservation, ergo as their neighbors we are on voluntary water conservation.

What does that mean?  I think the Mayor of Houston said it will Saturday morning:

“We are asking citizens to conserve water.  What does that mean?  If you don’t need to bathe right now, you don’t need to bathe right now.”

Mmm.  Que?

Pictures after the break.

So I humbly begin to explore Water Conservation.

What does water conservation mean to me?  Weating a hat to work instead of shampooing.

You know, it is the little things you miss in times like these.  No power means no haircut parlors with buzz clippers which has delayed my much anticipated haircut… 4 days now?

I am so going to be the crazy man with stockpiled canned food, water, battery powered flashlights and radios, and my personal generator for the next big crisis… once I get a house.

  1. you could also outfit your home with water conservation products, and save yourself on hot water heating and your plain old water bill. I got a number of items from eartheasy.com which seem to be working fine. You can probably get them from a big box store too. Beats not showering! but good on ya for trying something new!
