Carson City has had a problem with it's water supply for a very long time now. I've lived here over 30 years, and it seems there's never been enough. There's either not enough ground water, or not enough wells, or not enough distribution. And yet the city keeps letting the developers build new homes!
Yes, it could be that the advertised growth rate of three percent is a reasonable growth rate, providing all the things are in place to provide water, and yet there isn't enough water. The answer seems to be that those of us already living here need to give up our quality of life, some of which depends on water.
I seem to remember some years ago that the developers were complaining about limits on growth by stating that it would "put them out of business". Well boo hoo! Maybe it's not always in the best interest of the city and it's citizens for builders to keep on building! I'll never understand why this is of benefit to anyone but the builders and city hall anyway!
I would hope that we, the people that live here, could elect intelligent people to run the city, rather than those that are "in bed" with the developers (or other special interests, for that matter).
It's time our elected officials started representing the people!!
