Water distribution questions

In 1987, the City of San Diego declared a building moratorium starting on/or about September 1. Subdivision building plan checks ceased on the closing date.

If San Diego City can issue building moratoriums, FPUD’s directors can also place moratoriums on new construction water. Instead, FPUD decided to shaft Fallbrook farmers for the required 30 percent water consumption reduction.

If one looks at the graft and corruption in Washington, DC, and the Pentagon, it is always developers and contractors who are deeply involved in waste and corruption, as exemplified by ex-Congressman Cunningham, who initially declared his innocence.

Is it different in Fallbrook? Are FPUD’s directors deliberately trying to destroy Fallbrook as the Avo Capital of the world to create huge real estate land markets?

FPUD directors are required by law to protect the interests of existing FPUD ratepayers. What about moratoriums on swimming pool construction and eliminating all potable water use on golf course fairways, city/village streets and park landscaping at owners’ expense?

It’s time to replace all present FPUD directors who care nothing about existing ratepayers.

I recently received a letter from FPUD’s Chairman of the Board, Don McDougal. In response, Mr. McDougal, it is your responsibility as board chairman to address the public concerning water distribution decisions, rather than an FPUD employee.

I am criticizing you because FPUD’s directors placed the entire 30 percent potable water reduction on farmers without placing moratoriums on new users like real estate development.

Your letter to me hides behind so called tax-exempt nonprofit organizations. The Rockefeller family hides behind many tax-exempt nonprofits but they are, in reality, the richest family in America because of it.
