News The drought hits home
Posted by Scott Freeman on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 at 3:25 PM
First it's news that Piedmont Park will be off-limits to festivals this summer. Then it's word that Atlanta-area swimming pools may not be allowed to use water this summer. Then it's news that Six Flags may have to shut down its water-based rides.
Officials don't expect blackouts, but it would prompt "shockingly high" power bills for consumers because the electricity would have to be purchased from other energy sources.
The ramifications of this drought have only just begun.
