Last Thursday's Water Treatment Plant Meeting

I have not yet had the time to post some history behind the water treatment plant issue, but wanted to go ahead and post the latest news regarding the issue and some pictures. See e-mail update from Dolores Judge below.

Jack Curtsinger presented a great solution to this problem at Thursday's meeting. He suggested the 'water storage tank' be located at the site of the #2 plant. All other components of this proposed plant could be eliminated, since they are already at site #2, saving approximately $200,000 in construction costs plus a decrease in yearly maintenance expense, and meeting the needs of RPMUD. If you would like more information, Jack can be reached at 936/828-2100.

The Blackburnes are planning on making Charleston the showpiece of RPCC. This won't help.

The RPMUD board will meet this Thursday, at 4:00 p.m., at their office at 610 River Plantation Drive, to accept the bid for construction of this plant. The permanent fencing you see at the site is not the plant contractor's, it is RPMUD's, built under separate contract. Please be there to protest.

Don't forget the RPMUD election on May 10. Early voting starts Monday, April 28.
Dick Judge and Jack Curtsinger are running against the incumbents. The Election Day Voting Location is the RP Fire Station.
