Water users need to be responsible

Thanks for your article on the “water discussions” (Nov. 18). We can’t seem to put it to rest. Apparently Georgia is intent on the easiest way out of their mess, for them.

I invite anyone to cruise through the miles and miles of Atlanta suburbs and calculate, if you can, the acres of lawns and gardens with their sprinkler systems and the amount of water they consume.

Until Atlanta can show a lot of restraint in their abuse of available water, I don’t feel any need to encourage their bad habits.

Yes, I think we bear some responsibility for our neighbors, near and far. But responsibility for their own actions needs to come first.
