The Charlotte area is still feeling the effects of a drought affecting much of the Southeastern US.
Last summer, area residents were told to cut back, and eventually told to stop watering their yards altogether. And they did.
Our reward for conservation efforts? The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Department wants to hike rates 16% because we're not using enough water.
Wow. I sure hope the oil companies don't find out about this scam. Can you imagine? $4.00 a gallon if you drive an SUV, $6.00 a gallon for people driving a Prius.
