The mayor also said the 140,000 customers on Raleigh’s water system should purchase rain barrels … to have water for outdoor irrigation this year. …
“If the dry conditions persist ? I don’t know if they’ll persist one month or one year ? we’re not going to have drinking water available for lawn watering,” he said.

This sounds like buying a bigger piggy bank if you lose your job.
