Water thieves

Idecided to write in with a couple of ideas about the problem with the hydrants and the water thieves.

Why can’t the water thieves get water from their house or business? If they need hundreds and/or thousands of gallons of water for the marijuana plants then it would cost them a fortune to fill their containers at their house.

By stealing water from the hydrants, all it costs them is the time to drive to the hydrants and gas. I guess they aren’t dumb after all. This has been going on for almost a year in my neighborhood. They are setting a good example for their children. Stealing.

Since millions of gallons of water is being stolen from various hydrants, we are in a drought, nice regular people who don’t steal and pay their bills and abide by the rules are getting #_*^!%^.

My idea is that the people don’t pay their water bills since there are restrictions on them and the price of getting water keeps going up. So until the problems are fixed, the thefts stop, the people stealing water are arrested, go to jail and have their vehicles and trailers taken away and pay restitution.

If the county, law enforcement, the water companies can’t fix the problems and stop it, and don’t go after the thieves, then I don’t think they will come after you for unpaid water bills.

My next idea: Is there a reward for information leading to arrests? If so, I and a few others would be very happy to sit in the brush and take pictures. Put cameras on the power poles in my neighborhood. Drive around and see all the marijuana grows and there’s the evidence. There’s six big ones within a five minute walk from my place.
