Our state needs more money.  (don't they all)

So if you have a well, or a creek on your property as a water source..........  it ain't gonna be free much longer.

You will be required to buy water  meters in the near future.

.............they say that they only want the ability to 'monitor' water usage at this time.

Yeah, right.  Do you think that having a meter means they will not decide to exorcise the option to charge you for water from your own property?   Sheesh....... a no brainer.

 I will bet that one year after the meters are installed the state will have had enough time to figure out how much to charge you for your own water.

(In Oregon, the state owns the water that falls from the sky into the lakes and rivers and the water that seeps below and  flows under the ground that you walk on)

Here's a local comment about this recent state announcement from our paper:
