Act earlier so later restrictions do not need to be harsher

I support an early conservation ordinance because waiting until reservoir levels fall further will make later restrictions harsher. The draft needs clearer exemption language, but the overall direction is responsible.

The town should be careful about penalties that hit larger households harder. Conservation makes sense, but the final ordinance has to explain fairness before it is enforceable.
