The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #IX.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

I guess with water being as scarce as it is out your way some folks take a dim view of using it to make snow. They probably want it waste it on stupid stuff like showering, flushing toilets, washing dishes and drinking it!

Not exactly, they use filtered and treated wastewater that once did all these things, but the ski slopes are on what the local Indian tribe is calling, "sacred land". They object to them using, "unpure" water that once flowed in the sewers (a veiled attempt to shut the skiing down). After years in the courts, it was decided in favor of the folks running the ski slopes. I don't know where that water would go otherwise, but it's probably safer to use than tap water. Just think about what those astronauts at the space station are drinking.
