I had the pleasure of sitting next to Bill Knight (ran for City Council At Large in 2007) at Tuesday’s city council meeting and today he is speaking out against Greensboro’s continued water problem.
“We have learned that the Randleman Water Authority is ready to begin construction of a water treatment plant at Randleman Lake, once Authority members secure the necessary approvals and financing. We are faced with a delay of several more years before Randleman Lake water can be supplied to the city.”
Knight posed the following question, “Why can’t Greensboro begin now to address its water issues by laying the water transfer lines from Randleman Lake into the city?” He then cited the answer given by the city, “Apparently our water officials and city management cite cost of construction as a drawback.”
He continues by asking “how much additional population increase and expansion of our borders can take place before our water resources are in a permanent deficit.” Read more from Bill Knight here.
