Crazy thought here...maybe the rising cost of water would be a good incentive for people to conserve water? The city is giving away free water conservation kits: www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/residents/index.shtml ...maybe that could help some people who are going to be hit hard by this rate increase?

"If it's yellow let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down." That's it for tip savers of the week.

"...what the mayor wants, the mayor gets." Too bad Albany didn't get that memo. Or either of the Hudson Yards parties. Someone please put this lame duck out of his misery.

And in related news: Los Angeles Eyes Sewage as a Source of Water http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/16/us/16water.html and really using the last drop: On tap in space: Urine will not go to waste http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/space/2008-05-14-spacewater_N.htm "NASA has spent decades perfecting a system to transform urine into water that can be used in space for drinking, food preparation and washing."

Gas, rice, water... wow. We can't take anything for granted anymore -not even, or perhaps especially, the basics.
