Bayview
Water & Sewer District, Community of Voters (copy to Board)
The
issue: The upcoming Bond Election in May,
something to think about. Find out the
facts of why once again voting NO is so
important!
Here are
some ideas to drink in and give thought to.
The Bayview Water and Sewer Board seem to be carrying water with a
bucket ½ full. The “Citizen Fact Finding
Committee”, authorized by the Board, seemed to be carrying water (facts) with a
bucket ½ full. The Committee had 3 people walk away before it completed the
task. Why did they walk? They left because any ideas or facts that
would support rehabbing the present water storage tank and system where
constantly not considered; for the most part the bucket of ideas could only be
carried forward by the chosen that would be in favor of having a new system
across town at the cost of about 2.15 million.
This Bond if
voted in could be a serious mistake
for the future of Bayview. We do not
need a new system across town that would not be problem free for 100
years. We need to solve the problems for
the next 25-30 years while making sure the water & sewer repair costs and
financial needs of OUR WATER DISTRICT can be met without putting this huge unnecessary debt on the
people of Bayview. The financial condition of the District is one of pretty
much living hand to mouth while there are many unanswered questions regarding
costs, even to maintain what we have. This kind of decision making and debt has
caused some Districts to have a need for change of ownership, we should all be concerned about that!
There will
be more information coming out in the in May concerning why this 2.15 millon
dollar debt is a bad idea. Please be informed and do not allow fear to enter
into your decision, there is time to do this right. The Water & Sewer Board has a
responsibility to listen to the voters if they wish to stay on in their
positions. Please don’t allow their push back to change your standing. We need every one to hold ground for the best
future for Bayview! Pass this message around!
The Bare
facts from one of many that love Bayview!
