Greetings! Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday. We were just hit with a big storm...2 feet of snow at our house! So, we're doing our part to send CA residents some water. Did you know that most of your water comes from our beautiful mountain peaks??? Water rights are pretty interesting stuff in today's world.. :-) Resubmitting as I hadn't activated my account....so, I was anonymous.
