Big Brother's Watching!

I spent a couple hours yesterday tending to and working on the pool, which is a love-hate type of relationship.  As much as I loath it, it was a beautiful day, so I flipped on the radio to a local country station (more thoughts to come on this in a future post...) and got to work.

The weather has been so hot and humid the last couple of week, with little rain, the water level in the pool has been slowly dropping due to evaporation.  So, as I worked the vacuum, I turned the hose on and threw it in the pool to raise the level.

Seems I added some 320ish gallons and received the below 'high use notification' email from the Franklin Water & Sewer Superintendent, OOPS!  These emails are generated and sent automatically, so I'm not too worried about being called out on my usage.  However, that's not to say that they're not alerted or flagged when high consumption is reported.

Franklin has a water ban in effect and as a matter of fact they have had one each of the 20+ years I've lived here.  I hate to do it but it's a necessary evil of pool ownership.  Ironically, I didn't need to add a single drop to the pool last year, as Mother Nature helped me out.


The pool is looking So much better now!  Stop over for a swim anytime!
