There's no Coca-Cola down the block from here (nor a Nestle bottling plant ;)). Nor any high water usage industries (no real "industries" at all actually). We're one of a few towns in the area with municipal wells tapping an aquifer.
The next big city does not take water from an aquifer at all but from a river. One that's also currently lower on water than usual, which is not great because upstream cities put their sewage in there and that city does the same "downstream" (which will add to the problem cities even further downstream are going to have that also use the river water).
