And while we're on the subject, how about your pole treatment plant and the stench that continues to make everyone sick to their stomaches in East Point and the surrounding neighborhood.

His company is the #2 wholesale distributor of alcohol in the U.S. The company sells premium wine, beer and liquor...this is just a guess but maybe his house is actually a distillary.

Car-Nutz Auto Spa, Inc. is proud to announce our “waterless” car wash option which we are giving our customers who would like to help conserve water.

The utter waste and disregard for other people and a life resource is reason enough to cut off his water usage. Maybe limiting usage to what everyone else is using would be a small wake up call. A tiered system is a good idea in theory, but for those for whom money "runs through their fingers like water" it truly has no impact. Conservation is the key.

A steeply tiered rate system. Make it so that those who use a very minimal amout of water are charged a low rate, those that use something approaching "normal" usage pay a high price, those that use a high amount pay an even higher rate, and keep stepping it up until excessive wasters such as this man are paying exorbitant rates. Example monthly rates: 0-500 gallons=$.01/gallon; 500-1500 gallons=$.05/gallon; 1500-3000 gallons=$.10/gallon; 3000-9000 gallons=$.25/gallon, over 9,000 gallons=$1.00/gallon. This would provide a financial incentive not to be wasteful and would punish those who flagrantly waste water. There is something that can be done that would quickly cut excessive water usage.
