Feedback: Why is old water plant being shut down? Ed, Why is the old water plant being shut down? If it needed to remain operable a couple of months ago for an emergency back up, it shouldstill be needed. The new plant could have problems again, wasn't that the reason given for needing to keep the old one open? Who gets fired this time??? s/Sandy Rogers My understanding is that the budget wrecking expense for keeping the plant open is the the big factor in shutting it down now. If another emergency arises, it can be handled by buying water from neighboring systems. Hopefully, the firing days are behind us.. -EW. 2008-05-22 09:37:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
