Default Proposed water pumping from local springs

According to the online news source, there may be an impact on Belton's Millpond from a proposed 500,000 gallon per day water pumping project. Please see the online site for all the details, however, here are details for contacting the Southwest Florida Water Management District:

You need to contact the Southwest Florida Water Management District @ 1 800 836 0797 ext ***2 ask for either Mr Ralph Kerr or Danielle Sailler ext 4355.
The project name is the Fern Spring Project.
By email: info@watermatters.org

With all of the talk about water conversation, allowing a company to pump large amounts of water (with apparently little or NO fees) to SELL this as "spring water", appears to NOT be a good choice. Not sure what can be done, but phone calls and emails may be enough pressure to make sure this is actually in everyone's best interest.
