It's the Water
When I got home on Sunday, I noticed something that was happening across the street at the fire hydrant. It kept happening during the night, and Lisa said it had been going on since before I got home.
Water trucks kept appearing, tanking up from the hydrant, and going somewhere. At first I wondered if they were taking it somewhere that the city's water supply was disrupted, but that wouldn't work because, as I recall, Fernley's water supply for the fire hydrants is recycled water and is considered non-potable.
Yesterday, as I was getting ready to drive to my chiropractor appointment, the driver of the truck asked if he was blocking my way out and said no, but I then asked where the water was going. He explained that they were hauling water to a temporary vehicle wash station for vehicles leaving Burning Man. Considering how much mud those vehicles are probably carrying out of the Black Rock Desert, and the story I heard this morning of area car washes not wanting them due to the clay clogging their drains, this seems like a very good idea.
