Ask the PCWA for water conservation rewards
Water costs are on the rise and the Placer County Water Agency can do more to empower customers to avoid future costs through economic incentives. Residents of Auburn have recently been faced with the increasing costs of water, both on the supply side (PCWA) and the wastewater disposal side (city of Auburn). While these cost increases may have shocked many, the inescapable fact is these costs primarily reflect what we, the customers, demand — sufficient quantity and quality of water supplied to our homes and sufficient capacity of our sewage treatment plant to treat wastewater flows. Objecting to proposed cost increases is too late in the game to avoid increased costs. Changing what we, the customers, demand is the more effective way of heading off the future shock of water costs.
Utah Lake carp face deadly challenges
A forthcoming report says millions of carp are actually protecting Utah Lake from massive dead zones as a result of giant algae blooms. The report underscores the fact that cleaning up a damaged ecosystem is at best tricky -- and not without risk. Naysayers critical of a massive and expensive cleanup effort now underway at Utah Lake have said that the lake is too far gone to save native species on the brink of extinction, and should be left for the many introduced species that now populate the waters. But the forthcoming report shows that even the now-dominate non-native fish may be facing deadly challenges as the lake's ecosystem veers further off course. For years the state has been working on a federally mandated report to assess two major pollutants -- phosphorus and mineral salts -- in Utah Lake.
Flaherty fires back
This is the best move for the middle class. It doesn't help the rich too much. It's $5000 interest free each year. It's enough to help the middle class with some investment...even if its just a high interest savings account. But its not a general capital gains tax to benefit the very wealthy.
kudos to Flaherty for one of the best budgets in a while. I need good fiscal management not vision. If you want vision, go to Church. Posted 27/02/08 at 11:14 AM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
