When your face drops, that’s a sad day

The headline from Hamilton, Massachusetts, says:

“Hamilton faces drop in allowed water usage”

I hate to think of Hamilton faces dropping.

The rest of the headline, I don’t understand at all.

Or maybe I’m reading it wrong.

Oh. Yeah. I’m reading it wrong.

This headline is about the town of Hamilton, not the faces of the people of Hamilton.

English is a complicated language.
