The following is a ‘Minority Report’ as I am the twice elected trustee of Union Bay Improvement District. UBID is responsible for potable water, fire prevention services and street lights. Potable water is a serious responsibility and I feel landowners deserve factual information based on evidence regarding the quality and quantity of our drinking water as well as a full disclosure of the true cost of the build out of the treatment plant. The following is my opinion based on facts, evidence and personal experience. I am not speaking on behalf of the UBID Board.
Constructive solutions based comments are encouraged. This is our community and our water.

The water source for our potable water in Union Bay.
