Who owns it? Ostensibly the water companies. Who paid for it? We did. What paperwork, legalities and hoop jumping must there be to open the spigot - to maybe send this water back home and underground into our sparkly clean, repurposed septic tanks? It is the next part of the sewer journey for this H2O.
Let's hope the story unfolds quickly, as this rainy season won't last, spring is coming, summer - if we are lucky, might be a foggy drip, but by fall, our repurposed tanks might be empty. Our plants would be happy to get this stuff. Then the aquifer's water could be used for indoor water needs only, thereby saving it from some amount of overuse.
Our titled (22!), regal water languishes inside of its purple prison! Mary Queen of Scots all over again, with a better ending, I hope.
