*These important achievements were accomplished, all while defending your water company against several member-initiated lawsuits/petitions (essentially members suing themselves and you) and dealing with unprecedented numbers of public information requests from the supporters of the lawsuits.
Re-elect Gimenez-Nelson-Shaefer so they can continue working for you! They are honest, ethical, and dedicated volunteers who have a proven record and have worked tirelessly for you. Don’t be fooled by their opponents who are supporters of the lawsuits, have been or are directly involved with the lawsuits, or directly involved with publicly defaming our water supply company and its past and present volunteer board members.
What’s Next:
- Roll back water and sewer rates when lawsuits end and litigation costs are paid
- Implement E-billing and auto-payment
- New water clarifier to accommodate growth of the community—loan pre-approved
- Water Treatment Plant recycling project—will save an additional 100,000 gallons per month
- Mitigation of zebra mussels
- Purchase a backup generator for the wastewater plant
- Continue our access to clean, safe, healthy, and affordable water

On or before Saturday, March 27th, 2021
Please don’t let a small group of disgruntled people destroy our beautiful peaceful community with lawsuits (which you are paying for and are the direct cause of the rate increase), falsehoods, twisting of the facts, and their personal vendettas. There is already too much fighting and extreme negativity in our society. Our neighborhood and home should be a respite from these negative forces. Let’s end this madness!
