BW&S Bond

For those of you who are not following the BW&S proposed bond issue, these are some questions that need to be understood. I can answer several of these questions because I have been involved in the workshops, special meetings and Board meetings. For those not on the BW system please understand these issues. You will be asked to vote on the bond.

CHUCK MURRAY ASKS:
I HAVE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ISSUE OF A BOND FOR THE BAYVIEW WATER AND SEWER DISTRICT.
1. WILL THIS BOND BE JUST FOR THE WATER? IF IT IS FOR BOTH WATER AND SEWER HOW WILL THE DOLLARS BE BROKE DOWN BETWEEN WATER AND SEWER?
2. IF IT IS JUST FOR THE WATER PORTION, HOW WILL YOU KEEP CUSTOMES THAT HAVE SEWER ONLY BE KEPT FROM VOTING ON THE ISSUE.
3. HOW WILL YOU KEEP CONTROL OVER ONLY ONE VOTE PER RESIDENCE. THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS THAT THE HUSBAND VOTED YES, BUT THE WIFE WANTED A NO.
4. WILL THIS BE PUT ON THE ABSENTEE BALLOT? AGAIN HOW DO YOU CONTROL ONLY ONE VOTE PER ADDRESS?
5. HOW WILL YOU KEEP OTHER PEOPLE IN THE PRECINCT, SUCH AS, THE RESIDENTS IN FARRAGUT VILLAGE AND PERIMETER ROAD FROM VOTING ON THE ISSUE?
6. WILL NON RESIDENTS THAT PAY YEAR AROUND BE ABLE TO VOTE IN THIS ISSUE?
7. DOES THE WATER DISTRICT HAVE A BREAK DOWN OF HOW MANY CUSTOMERS ARE WATER ONLY, HOW MANY CUSTOMERS ARE SEWER ONLY AND HOW MANY CUSTOMERS ARE BOTH WATER AND SEWER.

BW&S Bills

For those of you who are questioning your BW&S bills: It is crucial that everyone closely monitors their water bills - even if it means comparing the readings with their meters. This month's PREVIOUS - MUST BE - Last month's CURRENT. Pay attention folks!
