Basin Water and Sewer District threatened with dissolution

A group of Basin residents submitted their written alternative plan for improving the community’s water system, but near the end of a contentious discussion at the Sept. 8 Water and Sewer District meeting, the group’s spokesman, Jack Lundberg, threatened to dissolve the District.

Lundberg has asked the District Board to host an election to determine if  a majority of residents favor, or oppose, the District Board’s current plan to take out a loan to put the Quartz Avenue pump station back online, install water meters and fix the leaks in the system.

When the Board said it would look into that possibility, Lundberg said he was concerned that it would stall that effort and countered with the threat of recalling the Board and dissolving the district.
