During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the equitable distribution of costs between single-family and multifamily housing in relation to water treatment and delivery. A member raised concerns about the current rate schedule, suggesting that the costs associated with water delivery should be balanced more evenly between the two housing types. The member emphasized that while the treatment process remains consistent, the delivery and distribution costs differ, primarily driven by the peak demand from single-family residences.

The conversation highlighted the need for a policy review to address these disparities, with officials indicating a willingness to consider adjustments. Trust Cannon and other members expressed their support for further discussion but did not pose any immediate questions.

Public comments were invited, with Steven Carmen, a resident of Park Meadows, addressing the council. He acknowledged the historical neglect of water management issues and urged the council to prioritize the renegotiation of the town's water contract. Carmen emphasized the importance of securing a second water source to enhance the town's leverage in negotiations. He also pointed out that single-family homes account for a significant portion of the cost differences, noting that they represent 60% of the disparity between single-family and multifamily housing costs.

The meeting underscored ongoing challenges in water management and the need for strategic policy decisions to ensure fair cost distribution and improved water resource management for the community.
