The vote last year by Mayor Clemens, Retha Lowe and former Commissioner Vespo was totally strange. We had already spent $14 mil on our own Reverse Osmosis System. To vote NOT to finish this but instead spend the money building pipes to connect to PB County and buy water from them was unbelievable particularly when we could buy any needed water from West Palm Beach for just the price of the water, not spend $21 million building pipes. We would have been a supplier of water, not dependent on someone like the County for our water needs.
Most of us are still shaking our heads and wondering why. What did the Mayor have against West Palm Beach Water? Why did he do what he did? Why did Palm Beach County want our commitment so badly? Why did they want to knock us out of the water business? How did any of this happen?
Write the PB County Commission--
