It is not remote or confusing! You imply since you have 3 rivers near

attitude in Colorado! If they drill near the river, they get all the
water they want!

Looks like someone is jumping to a big Assumption. I don't know what they
do/did in Colorado, but in Washington, cities have what are called
designated water rights that are closely watched. My city pulls straight
from the Columbia.

In fact, they are draining the river illegally and
violating numerous river compacts! People living near rivers in
Colorado often drop pimps in the river and use it to irrigate even
though all the water in the river isallocated and they don't have any
nallovation! So, I think saying you kive near so and so rivers makes
it very relevant!

I strongly disagree, not on this thread, where no one suggested, but
yourself, that someone do anything illegal. Are you implying I am? After I
said every drop of my water used is metered? That's really stretching it,
imo. ~ jan
