Putting meters on private wells? Oh, Hell no!
I agree, but there was a push some years ago, that the gov't in FL wanted to 'inspect' private gardens ... and also put some type of fee on them. Jeb! was governor at the time. There was a woman at our local Republican club that was fighting that bill and eminent domain from taking over individual property rights.
There was talk of also putting a consumption meter on electricity and water to limit how much people could use, regardless if they paid or not -- over consumption would result in a fine. I do not recall if Jeb! was governor or not.
Either way any sort of finite government control like that is absolutely dangerous and obviously puts our freedom(s) in peril.
So now they are pushing this 'going green' crappola which will be designed to do just that; control consumption and monitor your every move.
