Here are the latest reports. Water rationing will continue for the foreseeable future. Despite various rituals and incantations we have been unable to make it rain. Please continue to do your part to ensure that water is not wasted. Sharing your shower is a good idea. Please refrain from washing vehicles. Remember: A caring driver has a dirty car.
