We have been told that there is nothing our city can do now because it is a state law. Although some on the city council may have given up hope that our city can keep its promises, I have not!
I do not accept that we have done everything possible to help Pleasant Grove keep its promises. We can still act! The metering law does not require that we install meters until 2030. I will not allow our city to merely lay down and kowtow to the state without using all political processes and pressure to change the state law.
Unfortunately, we now pay a high monthly rate because of rate hikes and various bonds that have been passed related to the secondary water system. This year, the city council voted to require meters to be installed.
In my discussions with folks in neighboring cities, it is clear that there is widespread disagreement with this law. If we act, we can put political pressure on our representatives at the state level to repeal or significantly modify the law to stop the installation of meters on secondary water system. I ask for your vote so I can go to work helping Pleasant Grove keep its promises to us!
