Does it usually run out? 

Plenty of water, plenty of stray dogs , plenty of broken down footpaths, plenty of taxis not using meters, plenty of mobile police patrols...er, forget that one. The Hub of Plenty.

"Deputy Interior Minister assures enough water for coming tourists"

 

Should be fine.

Not that many tourist and a descent rainy season.

 

Even in the driest years tourists would be the last to feel the pinch.

 

Its the common folk who will be left high and dry, as it should be.

I imagine there will be plenty of water left by the start of the next rainy season.

Tourists drink tap water?

Surprise Surprise. Heavy rainfalls this year and hardly any tourists. They’ll still probably muck it up. ????
