Ag water contracts were ambiguous

I would like to comment on the FPUD water district’s cutting back agricultural water by 30 percent. I know we all signed “contracts” but they were ambiguous at best, and totally misleading at the worst.

We didn’t save enough money to justify what the water district is doing to us. I feel that cutting everyone by 10 percent would more then solve the problem and would not be a hardship for anyone.

Think about the fact that some of the properties in San Diego County have two-acre lots or more that are residential and will be using more water per acre then the growers who are being penalized for growing food.

I begin to wonder if there is another agenda attached to the water cutbacks. Why just agriculture people who actually use the water for food and not growing their lawns?

Please contact my e-mail address – [email protected] – if you have any ideas. I am trying to get interest in this matter so we all don’t take this lying down.
