Marin water hookup suspensions spur housing debate
Marin water managers’ strategy to suspend most new water service hookups during the historic drought is drawing criticism from some who say little water will be saved with a policy that comes at the expense of the county’s poorest residents. Such a tradeoff would impact everyone from service workers to businesses to the elderly on fixed incomes, critics say. … Proponents of the hookup moratoriums say the county must live within its means with regards to water supply especially given the uncertainty of how long this drought could last.
