Aww c'mon, that's a lame answer. San Diego and the North East have had population explosions as well. Hawaii has desalination plants to create more available water since the aquifers only can hold so much water not to mention since Oahu cannot supply water for Lanai etc.

Anyway, with the table tepees, how many people get ice water and don't drink it? Imagine that amount every day and night every week of the year. That could eventually effect the bottom line of a restaurant. Also, consider that amount for every restaurant nation-wide.

You didn't think about that immediately instead of asking "And what reason did the tents give for the water rationing?"

As for cleaning glasses, they pay a dishwasher. It's just that simple.

and I guess a Hawaiian dishwasher uses less water than a NorthEastern dishwasher...

If that's the case that really sounds backwards to me.

I don't understand what you are saying here exactly. But I do like to have a soda and a glass of water with my dinner. Water to clear my tastebuds and soda to enjoy a different flavor.
It used to be that as soon as you sat down at a restaurant, as your order or just after your order was taken, they would give everyone seated at the table a glass of water automatically.
