LAKE COUNTY ―  The Lake County Board of Supervisors will hold a closed session Tuesday, Aug. 7, to discuss whether the county can become involved in litigation. An earlier story incorrectly reported the supervisors would discuss a resolution supporting the concept of not-for-profit water supplies, based on information from a county source.

County Counsel Anita Grant said Thursday morning “There is no resolution on the agenda for the closed session.”

Third District Supervisor Denise Rushing said Thursday “any discussion of a resolution will be in open session.” She added she hopes it will be on the board agenda soon.

Rushing took the matter to the Board of Supervisors at the request of Lucerne Community Water Organization and LucerneFLOW, which are working for public ownership of water supplies.

Wow what a concept, not for profit municipal water. Now if we can just do this without the usual waste in government and scale back our expansion plans for new housing it might just work.
Waste of time....

...and if they do vote to create this agency who is going to foot the bill?

Does anyone realize that NOT FOR PROFIT does not mean that water rates will decrease?

Grandiose posturing.
Not so grandiose

Of course we realize it's gonna cost an arm and a leg. Its a pro-active move that would really be to the benefit of future generations. That means sacrifice in the present. Is this concept foreign to you yellowwing? Why do so many posters not put there real name where their mouth is? Is there of some reason to be afraid of expressing your ideas, one that requires anonimity?
No stockholders....

Sure the rates might actually go up for a period, then future residents won't be held hostage to stockholder dividend increases and the water/system quality won't take a back seat to profit.
That increases land values in the community where the water is produced and consumed as opposed to where the profits go otherwise.

No brainer, people really need to start imagining that this thing called future is for real and needs to be planned for outside of current desire.
