No vote to be held for Basin water system loan

One of the requests by Basin residents opposing the Basin Water and Sewer District Board’s plan to add water meters and reinstate the Quartz Avenue pump house was to take it to a vote. 

Allowing the residents to vote either way would give an accurate count of how many residents actually want the Basin Water and Sewer District to go into debt to pay for those improvements, which has also led to a rate change, according to opponents. 

MJ Williams, who chairs the Basin Water and Sewer District Board, said that it was not possible.
