Future of Mt Tabor Reservoirs Public Meeting Wednesday, December 10at 6:15pm - 8:30pm Warner Pacific College https://facebook/events/776207072417076/?ref_notif_type=plan_user_invited&source=1 Commisioners Fritz and Fish invite all Portlanders to engage in a conversation about the future of Mt Tabor Reservoirs. SAVE PORTLAND DRINKING WATER NOW is reaching out to inform you about this issue as it *profoundly* effects your health, and the health of your children. Not to mention your water bills.... On December 10th, the city will hold its second of two recent meetings about the future of Mt Tabor Reservoirs. We strongly encourage you to attend!! City Hall is working hard to shut down and replace Portlands amazing, gravity-fed, naturally-sterilized and aerated drinking water system with hugely expensive and inefficient buried reservoirs. The Federal EPA LT2 rule driving this project is currently under review and is expected to be revised in July of 2016. Science has proven that the rule is not wise. Several other municipalities across the country in similar situations have received extensions, or deferrals, esp given the financial hardship imposed by these projects. There are clearly ways around it. However, as it happens, our citys history contains an Ex Water Bureau Commissioner who eventually lobbied the EPA to write the LT2 rule, and has continued on as executive of the companies who have received all the no-bid, no cap contracts since. He continues as a consultant to this day, selling us massive detrimental projects we dont need to comply with a rule he helped write. And it gets worse from there..... At the last of these meetings, on November 18th, We The People refused to be pandered to once again and loudly made our collective voice heard. Our Commissioners have promised to respond to our concerns. Full video of the 11/18 meeting can be seen here, in two parts: vimeo/112550446 vimeo/112569863 In order to show our city we have a voice, it will take YOU and ALL YOUR FRIENDS to show up for the public hearing. Let the commissioners know that you will not stand for them selling away our health for short-term financial gain! • Tell all your friends about this, LIKE and SHARE all the posts to increase their feed!!
