Irony

I think it is ironic that Webster county is being told by this corporation (and our government, evidently) that there is plenty of water out there and that this some odd billion gallon per year use by one company is not an unreasonable use while at the same time Springfield city leaders (see Springfield News-Leader, 06/01/07) are taking the initiative to PROTECT THEIR water supply by tightening use restrictions and urging conservation... Isn't the community of Joplin also entering crisis mode in their search for a clean water supply?
