I have myself a well which is so much better. After you see those ECUA workers that maintain those water tanks, they all are wearing those white suits you see people wear around hazardous materials and they have this mask on as well. IF they need to protect themselves like that why in the world would they want to dump that POISON into the water system you all drink. STUPID !!! They made me hook up to their sewage system even though I have a commercial type septic tank and they charge me an ARM / LEG / and a KIDNEY for their sewage / garbage pickup. The bill comes to $69.98 per month and that is without their water. People who have a well are getting ripped off. What I do to get my monies worth .... I run my faucets in the bath tub and my sinks and help fill up their sewage and then I feel better about them charging me that much. Now it appears I will be spending more $$$$ so I will be dumping that much more water into their sewer :) :) :) I do not drink their CAPPY WATER. I have myself a well which is so much better.

He lives south of Nine Mile Road. It was important for him to move the district line south of Nine Mile Road, in his little neighborhood, so he would be in District 5, which would place him in the areas encompassing UWF, Scenic Hills, and the developing sub-divisions north of Nine Mile Road. The "perfesser" ain't no fool. C'mon people, let's vote. Mr. Walker is (was?) an employee of the University of West Florida. He lives south of Nine Mile Road.

The only time he is nice is when he's running for Re-election. Even so, being his neighbor, yard clippings pick-up, neat and orderly contained is often iffy.

Why hasn't the grand jury report been released? We the people have the right to know when we are being lied to and stolen from.

The difference between Santa Rosa's and Escambia's tipping fees is; Escambia $46.00,Santa Rosa $36.00 per ton. According to the ECUA board, we in Escambia each have to pay $7.00 extra a month to make up for this $10.00 a ton difference. How many of these green cans do they pick up to make a ton? I'd guess 40 or so. What ECUA did in Santa Rosa was underbid and put several private companies out of business in an attempt to create their own monopoly, and the voters that elect them are subsidizing this folly. .

Yes, and no.

It is not part of the county. But it is its own separate government entity created by the Florida Legislature.

Without representation on ECUA board? That smacks of taxation without representation. When ECUA took over sanitation for SR north end, from private companies, I asked very pointed questions of our BOCC......and there was clearly apathy and lack of meaningful response. And such is the state of many governmental entities. Sad So SR north end is supporting a neighboring county’s governmental coffers? Without representation on ECUA board?
