Dam filling at our expense

I would just like to say how happy I am that the Mangrove dam is filling up.

Yippee!

But don't be fooled.

The council has neglected to tell you that it's probably not from all the rain.

It is just that the people who live on the Peninsula are not using town water anymore.

They are getting smelly, filthy water from our underground bores.

So, of course, the dam is filling up.

We, here on the Peninsula, are not using that lovely clean water that comes from the heavens.
