More on Lisbon's Water Supply, "It's not just another drop in the bucket..

Lisbon's Water Supply
 
 
The facts presented in Mr. Samson's recent letter to the Reporter are correct.  The well head protection ordinance has been sitting around for better than two years and does need to be passed. I have expressed my concerns about the Moody Avenue well protection to local government officials and individuals over the Dragon Pit Property in person and in e-mails. 
 
I am not standing in the way of the development of the Dragon Pit property.  The town does need the tax revenue.  However, our water resources do need protection through the passage of the proposed well head protection ordinance.  If the Moody Avenue well is contaminated it will cost all residents (due to fire protection) a great deal of money. 
 
 What can Lisbon residents do?  Talk or call your councilors and urge them to pass the well head protection ordinance as soon as possible to save guard our public water supply. 
 
If you have further questions attend a water board meeting on the second and fourth Monday of each month, or call me @ 353-2780 or e-mail me at b_bauer62@yahoo.com

This is a very serious matter but it is workable once the ordinance has been passed.
