But can spend 100,000 for water that they mightNeed when I only got to spend 10,000 to help a flooding issue on Craig Road by moving the gas line that should have been moved when the road was done. Sounds like a town for a little extra money to spend if they need to get rid of do it in the places that it’s really needed those he’s doing a great job better get him out of there before he spends all the money The town has all this free money to spend on these things that are really not needed.

No benefit to Central Water Works. Murphy's Law states "If it can happen it will happen" This law very much applies to "All Things Town of Century" To the members of the Central Water Works board of directors, your members are watching. Hold a vote, record of your action is a public record. This is a bad idea. No benefit to Central Water Works.

This cause the pressure on tedder rd to sky rocket uncontrollably (even with the pressure valve). Causing pipes to burst, hot water heater pop-off valves to bust. Not to mention the havoc caused by the south system losing tedder rd. PSI at mcdavid for dept is almost 150 PSI already .

As a previous manager of CWW, with first hand knowledge of the system, the only upside for CWW is IF(not when but if) TOC needs to purchase water from CWW. This interconnect below TOC not CWW, except monetarily. But where is broke TOC going to allocate the required money to pay CWW for water usage? Especially if the prison is using 350k gallons a day. That's over 9 million gallons a month. BAD IDEA CWW.... Might wanna reconsider this investment Just like Rodney said….

Buz, come on...quit pulling in your good ole boys for jobs. Hasn't been mentioned but waiting on the boom cause its coming. Why all of a sudden is Century needing all of these outside “must haves”?

If I read this article correctly, they only have one fully operational well. If it fails the town, including the prison would be in a crises. Maybe the prison should consider buying their water from Central, that way they would at least have a reliable source.

The cost was why it wasn't reconnected over 20 years ago. It was nearly 50 k then. Century is the only one that benefits here. But the costs should be split, because the main reason to connect is the prison. That is a money making proposition. As a member of CWWI, and someone who has firsthand knowledge of the system, it wouldn't be a good deal for the members of CWWI. Especially the way the system has been divided up due to poor valve operations. The pressure on Tedder Rd is already dipping during high usage and randomly at other times due to the distance of water transmission, what would you expect it to do when the prison comes on line using another 350k a day?

We have a great community system and I don't think we should be grabbing on to a sinking ship. I'm very concerned that this could put our system and our water supply at risk. Please don't do this.
