Dear Editor,
Congratulations on your award, what a well deserved achievement.
I am writing to you as I respect your paper, and knowledge of the Springwater area.
I look so forward to the Springwater news, ( I moved into this new community in 2022.) I get to learn all about our new community and love it!
I really am hoping you can get some answers for myself and my neighbours, about the water treatment plant in the area and what needs to be done to get it fixed.
I am on a local community site where neighbour’s are so upset that new homes are expected to be built in this area when, and at the moment for the last couple of months it can’t service us, never mind the new homes it has not been working very well at all.
The community understands about the drought and having to reserve water for fires. However, what doesn’t make sense, is why would they have not have taken the design and infrastructure originally into consideration, before building up this area.
I believe that the existing system should be prioritized to be expanded or fixed before any shovels go in the ground, before building more houses here.
They can’t service the existing ones??
I feel this Stonemanor community would like a meeting with council and planning, to explain who approved the plan originally, what is actually happing here, and why?
I have heard some of my neighbours talk about brown or dirty water coming out of bath faucets?
They don’t want to bathe their kids in “dirty water”
I feel that your knowledge of the whole area here, and the people you know who can answer our concerns, can arrange a meeting.
You may get what we need to know and why, and believe would go along way to achieve some unanswered concerns, instead of several emails that has been suggested to the group to send to council and the planners..
I am hoping you can help us with some answers and continue to keep us informed.
Gratefully, Deborah Van Pelt, Stonemanor
