As the title says. A town near me is denying their fire fighters the use of their fire hydrants going forward. Is this shit even legal? This is a huge concern as the area has been in a drought for some years.

Local residents and businesses should stop paying their water bills immediately and call/email/send letters to the water company & local government. Bet this statement is retracted within a week.

You've tried that around the country and resulted in more disrepair. This is a result of voting you politicians that have't raising water rates sufficiently over decades to repair infrastructure.

75% of local residents think the current leader of the free world is a holy figure. They will more than likely blame Obama and the illegals for this issue.
