water in a desert...

[Beetle Bailey]

First off, I'm another new guy trying to get started in the business. I have been reading all the posts and its great info. Thanks to all. My question is more specific to drought laden areas such that I live in. I live in Texas and most counties in and around metroplexes are usually under a water restriction most all of the summer months. As a matter of fact we are currently still under water restrictions from last summers drought. What do you do for water when its being restricted? Say I'm going to do some flatwork for a restaurant in July or August, would they have less restrictions than homeowners for water consumption? Is this going to be a business killer? Obviously large amounts of water are going to be needed... thanks again to all

We had water restrictions last year in the Raleigh, NC area. It at first restricted all pressure washing. Enough companies complained and the restriction was lifted on commercial washing but restricted all residential flatwork; commercial flatwork could be done for "sanitary" reasons only. I assume that meant sidewalks at restaurants and such.
