Water Needs

Several of us met last week at the Prudential Snook offices to review the outcomes and learnings from the unsuccessful campaign for a water pipeline to St. Joseph and completion of the main in the south end of Cameron and construction of a new water storage tower there.

Many believe that the last minute negative phone campaign may have swayed some voters. Some point out that we need to meet with the more vocal opponents and give them opportunity to show (with equally well-researched scientific information) why constructing a much more expensive reservoir is a better approach.

Ultimately, it is up to the Cameron City Council to decide what steps to take next. The consensus of those in attendance was that all of us are in this effort to positively and cost-effectively address the still pressing need for a dependable, alternative source of water for this community.

What ideas do you have?
