Legal Requirements and Policing
There are many suggestions in this site that currently have no legal base by which they can be implemented. The water situation, as we enter into 1999, constitutes a contingency that justifies new legislation for the state of emergency. This should be conjoined with heavy sanctions against anyone found to contravene this new and existing legislation regarding water, during the emergency. Of course, no laws are useful if they cannot be enforced. The police have their hands full with more serious matters than to check whether water is being used correctly. The "tiger-teams" mentioned previously could be made up of sworn officers with the technical requirements to fulfil their primary duty but with also the power to denounce major violations and to impose on-the-spot penalties for minor ones, naturally with a right of appeal. |
