Just to keep the issue of the town selling Chaparral Pines water for its golf course alive, here is a comment that a reader recently posted on the blog:
"I believe when Chaparral (Pines) was approved way back when, they were to dig wells and bought a ranch to water the golf course.Why is the town selling water when they don't even have a pipeline yet? So many questions and so few answers. Thank heavens a mayor can only have 2 terms."
We need to make sure we don't miss the meeting when this murky deal comes to a vote. I doubt that this council will do the right thing when so much money is at stake, but what they are doing - selling potable water for a rich man's golf course for 49 years at cost - cannot go unchallenged.
We understand a town councilor has asked Payson water guru (who knows what his title is these days) Buzz Walker what percentage of the water dumped on the golf course can actually be pumped out of the ground and resold. No answer yet. Payson Mayor Kenny Evans says all of it.
The Roundup bought that ridiculous assertion hook, line and sinker. Or at least the editor lacks the cojones to stand up and challenge the mayor.
Meanwhile, town hydrologist Mike Ploughe has bailed. He's down the road. Please stay tuned.
P.S. If I'm not mistaken, Kenny is on his third term already. At least it sure feels like it.
