Sidorak also says the restrictions and their effect on business took an emotional toll.
"I've had many sleepless nights. My daughter keeps on asking me, 'When are the water restrictions going to be lifted, dad?' So that was kind of the nice part, this weekend, is I got to tell my daughter the water restrictions are lifted, so my daughter is happier now because you can see the stress on my face every day," he said.
