Duh! Myopic morons comes to mind regarding the 2 City Council members who are balking on the water reuse project. The argument that it would benefit only a few large users, hence does not justify the use of taxpayer funds, is specious at best. As ALL Raleigh users pull water from the same, increasingly stressed water supply, any significant reduction in fresh water usage helps ALL users. The city should be spending more on grey water programs, as the water supply is not going to increase any time soon, while usage obviously has, and will continue to do so.
