Selling our water supply
I am concerned that I have seen very little comment about the private company who has a petition submitted for approval to bottle and sell Sumter County spring water.
Their plans are to pump and bottle nearly 500,000 gallons during the low season and nearly 1,000,000 during high demand seasons. I am shocked that the decision making powers to be would even consider approving such a plan. Almost every year water restrictions are imposed on we Villages and it is outrageous to think they would allow our water to be bottled and sold. Without ample water supply, the Villages would become a ghost town over night.
