I'll pass. I don't like this water plan at all

A lot of times people don't pay attention to Local Govt, well its pretty important I would say :)

Recently the MWC Council passed a plan to sell water to Norman.  I voted against it, but the item passed 5-2.  I was opposed to the plan due to the fact that Norman has not been a good partner recently in my opinion.  The Council passed a resolution against allowing Norman to dump their waste water into our drinking water (Lake Thunderbird).  Unfortunately 2 of the 3 MWC representatives to COMCD did not stand with the MWC Council and oppose the measure.  Below is a similar story along with a story in support of the idea.  We can't get out all of the contaminants so I do not feel it is best for MWC.  We still have plenty of time to stop it, but everyone needs to be aware and up to speed on whats going on.
