Water Conservation...The new Scam?

Greensboro's Biggest Scam...The Randleman Dam.
(Sounds like a song)
Why would a city sell water quietly at a 47% discount to certain users and then at the same time tell residents that they are in danger of running out of water? Their solution, begin a huge effort to conserve water with a program that actually worked better than they anticipated causing a loss of revenue for the city. Problem: Wanting a new Dam built but with water conservation working to well won't be able to convince residents there is a need for a new lake. Solution: dump water by selling to certain areas at a huge reduction in price to scare residents into agreeing to the neeed for a new Lake by getting reservoir levels low; creating the illusion of dyer need. Reality: water conservation working so well that city receives several awards and a job well done to the city and it's city's Water conservation manager Mike Baron.
So with a water conservation program working so well that the city is saving literally millions of gallons of water; the city is being held up as an example to others; and showing how the efforts of it's citizens working together can get it done, why would you fire the Water conservation manager???
