The mussels that they dont want extinct also filter the water of stuff you dont want to eat or drink. They are there for a purpose. but the Environmental Protection Division has been going about this whole watering ban the wrong way. The current chair, Carol Couch is getting replaced at the end of the year. These people are allowing water to be sold to parts of Alabama from Lanier and/or Allatoona and apparently they're not on as tight restrictions as we are. THAT is what we need to be rationing.
