Hi,

There were some questions in another thread, so I thought I'd post these links:

Its a bit hard to follow the thing at "home" in Evart from Maine, but it seems that essentially in a small town worried that income from the only major factory is drying up (the factory bought water for equipment cooling, no longer required), the leadership there feels this water is one solution.

Since C&A used more water, the aquifer depletion agrument is downplayed.

That factory didn't truck heavy water over the roads, however (Maine roads near Poland Springs - the same company - are taking a beating).

I won't even get into the diversion of the water out of the watershed stuff - grin.

When the towns started getting vocal in Maine, the company focused on our Northern "Unorganized Townships" - the North Woods of Maine. Different groups with a different governing structure, and pretty much caught opposition unprepared.

Just my version of an update,
Kat
