A LOT OF EDGEWOOD RESIDENTS AREN’T DRINKING THE WATER. THE WATER IS PRETTY BAD, BUT KOB TV REPORTS RESIDENTS ALSO DON’T LIKE A RECENT PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE THE WATER SYSTEM. THE CITY LAWYER HAS FIRED OFF A LETTER TO THE PRIVATE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE COMMUNITY’S WATER SYSTEM. IT DISCUSSES EDGEWOOD’S DESIRE TO BUY THE WATER SYSTEM … OR TO START CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS SO IT CAN BE TURNED INTO A MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE PRIVATE COMPANY EPCOR SAYS THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF SELLING. DANIEL BAILET ALSO SAYS THEY’LL FIGHT ANY EFFORT TO CONDEMN THE WATER SYSTEM AND TAKE IT TO COURT. HE ALSO SAYS THEY CAN INSTALL A CENTRAL FILTRATION SYSTEM IF RESIDENTS AGREE TO PAYING A HIGHER RATE FOR WATER.
