From the article is sounds more like, some town folk don't like not being able to water their lawns. Said folks targeted the people buying water, despite them being less than 1% of the water used. Not to mention apparently they are providing 45% of the towns tax revenue with their water purchases.
So an irrational decision fueling conflict.
- usefulcat 1y ago> apparently they are providing 45% of the towns tax revenue with their water purchases "Revenue for the water sales to rural residents totaled $43,000 per year, about 15% of total revenue." This means that 'total revenue' is about $287k. I would guess that's the revenue of the water system, not the town's entire tax base. Still a significant figure, but not 45% of the town's tax revenue.
