On one hand, I hate to see anyone lose their jobs. On the other hand, I think all of that kind of watering (car washes, professional landscaping, etc) should be completely banned in all of north Georgia. I've heard good arguments for both sides and I just don't know which side I'm on anymore. The right answer will only come after it's all done. We'll either say: 1 - "We got all of this rain and we're fine. We could have gotten by without cutting those jobs." Or... 2 - "We're completely out of water now. Why on earth did we let the car washes keep operating for so long?" This is one of the hard things about the drought, and I still don’t know which side I’m on.

Due to the water restrictions and drought, they are now unemployed. I know this is true at about 4 dealerships because they don't have a water recycling system. It's sad and I wish so many people weren't stuck looking for jobs...the ones that some of them qualify for are the jobs hindered most with the water restrictions.
