Please describe your comment briefly:
To Whom it may concern:
We live at 1481 W. Longhorn St., Rathdrum, Idaho in the Bar Circle S and have for nearly ten
years. Our family trust also has two other bare parcels in this development. It has come to
our attention that there is a i sudden i outrage over our water district and the desire to
raise rates . Despite my lack of desire for an increase in anything nowadays, we have not had
an increase the entire time we have lived here. We have always experienced great service;
and when a break occurs, repairs are done quickly. We are at the end of a water line and we
have exceptional pressure! (We have twice the rate of my mother who is on her own well just
around the corner from us.)
We hear the complaining from a select few in our neighborhood and we are starting to feel as
though some of the complaining is unfounded, unfair and unprofessional. Some even sounds a
little far fetched. One neighbor actually scaled our fence/gate to knock on our door;
therefore, the aggressive behavior towards this issue is something we feel compelled to speak
about. We feel violated by this woman who felt she had the right to ignore our closed iron
gate, and step foot on our property anyway- -just to leave her complaint information about the
water company. We were shocked and amazed at her appalling behavior.
Now, most of us in this development own our own businesses and should understand the costs of
doing business; costs have to be passed on. I am so disappointed in some of our neighbors
behaviors over this. This letter is in defense of the great water district we do have and do
enjoy being part of; we knew the CCRs when we bought in here, and there were not over the top
nor outrageous.
We wanted to write to the State to give our opinion of the Bar Circle S Water co. as
positive. We see how other water districts are in this area (we even know what the costs are
to have your own well) and can i t believe people want to complain about this one. They
obviously don't know a good thing when they see it.
Thank you for your time on this matter,
Lisa Green-Peterson
