Users of South Willard Water received an insert with the December water bill that said the following:
“Dear Shareholders(s)
South Willard Water Co. has considered a proposal, that if we had majority shareholder support, we would build and operate a joint pressurized secondary irrigation system. After further consideration SWWC is deferring to Pine View Water Conservation District who will organize a vote of Pine View shareholders. If voted in by a majority, Pine View will build and manage the system.
You will be receiving further instruction regarding secondary water from Pine View directly.”
The state classifies SWWC as “Self Governing”. This means, users of South Willard Water are Shareholders and our vote controls the actions of South Willard Water. When you receive an insert in your water bill announcing the place and time of our annual meeting, we need to attend and insure our water fees are used responsibly to:
Supply quality water, maintain water facilities and the availability of water for the users current and future needs.
My thanks to the Sentinel News for reporting this issue.
