Drought pits neighbor vs. neighbor

Georgia’s drought is pitting some neighbors against each other.

Police in Columbia County east of Augusta say they’re getting up to 10 calls a day from people reporting their neighbor’s water violations. Now, the county is disconnecting repeat violators’ water supply. So far, almost 50 households have had water disconnected this drought season because of violating the rules.

Police in Roswell north of Atlanta say they’re also getting calls from people reporting their neighbors’ water violations.
