Please describe your comment briefly:
I thought we went through this process about monthly or every 2 months before, once again we
have no option out here to get irrigation water as it was never put in and once again drive
around this area and you will see most folks cannot afford to even water their lawns. What we
need to see is their profits after expenses and base it on that, they are trying to take
advantage of federal regulations and gobble up all the rights to supply water to us and if
they have to replace old systems than that is their problem for buying old systems. Solution
be smarter and do not buy a problem and stick it to us. I know just enough about what they
are doing in the valley with smaller water systems to get them and have a monopoly. Now if
they are so concerned with water conversation install irrigation to us, and ask for a return
on their investment a different outcome would be accepted. I lived here since 1975 and south
county water was great and affordable, since United Water took over too many chemicals and
tastes bad and rates to high for service provided, most of us out here have big lots and most
are reducing their lawns to conserve but get us irrigation water first before asking for
more, doing nothing and asking for more is so stupid heck even the most basic business knows
if people have a i choice i they will choose the best value. Also are they an American company?
or European company? Profits vs. Expense, no investments out here that we have noticed.
