Below is an update from a SummerTree resident about their recent progress on the issue:
What a wonderful day Tuesday 4/22/14 was for Summertree. Thank you all for coming to the County Center...you all helped in getting the support we need from our Pasco County Commissioners!
What has been accomplished:
- We received UIF's engineering report on Friday. They researched a centralized system and individual well systems but could not guarantee a stable outcome. Both the CPH Engineering and Utilities, Inc. recommendation was for a Pasco County interconnect. This would give us County water which is what we want. However, UIF would still be in control and we would continue to be subjected to our historic rate increases every 3 years.
- This is why we asked the Pasco County to research purchasing our system. They offered two options looking into FUA (Florida Utility Association) and a means to reduce our impact fees for the interconnection. The Commissioner voted unanimously to support working toward a solution.
- Senator Simpson's bill SB 272 is going to the Senate floor on Friday; it will go for a vote on Friday, April 25.
- Rep. Richard Corcoran is still working to amend Rep. Santiago’s bill HB 357 by amending the bill on the House floor. We do not have a date but the Session closes next Friday, May 2. So we will know soon learn if the bill will be amended; otherwise, we need the legislators to vote it down!
- We have been getting media coverage ...three news articles and a letter to the Editor. I will keep working to continue getting our message out there.
- I have been receiving positive feedback about your calls and emails to legislators.
We still have an unpredictable journey ahead us, so keep up the good work!!!
Summertree residents, You Rock!
