Eastwick is going through a VERY scary drought. Our lake has turned into a freakin' national forest. I was on my way home yesterday, and I noticed that a fire hydrant was spewing water everywhere. No one was around. There is no telling how long it had been spewing water. I call the water company.
Me: "Yes. Did you know that there is a fire hydrant spewing water on Crest Street?"
Water person: "Ummm...hold on...ummm...no?"
Me: "Well, there is. Can you please send someone out because I don't think anyone meant for the fire hydrant to be spewing water for no good reason."
Water person: "Ummm...yeah...wait...what do you want me to do about it?"
Me: "Considering that people's wells are drying up, and Georgia is in a freakin' state of emergency, maybe someone should turn the fire hydrant off."
Water person: "What?"
OMG! That damn thing spewed water for over an hour more. Finally, someone came and turned it off. Waste, waste, waste! Eastwick hasn't even asked its citizens to conserve water. WTF?

What's the deal? Are you guys just not getting rain or something? I know that you guys had a pretty mild winter last year, but one winter wouldnt cause a drought would it?
Id write to the newspaper about what you saw. Who knows, it might spark conservation interest.
We've had no rain. We also had record heat this summer. It's in the upper 70's here today.
Seriously--there's a red clay desert where there used to be a lake--it's ridiculous. And will it ever coool down?? Sheesh...
