PV Town Hall; Where change is needed
While PV grows at 16.3% per year (PAMA Table 1-4, communities with annual growth rates of >2%); our ground water drops dramatically! Our last year of total precipitation over an annual mean average of 18.95 inches; was 1998 when 22.70 inches fell. Since 1998, our annual totals have been, 16.52, 15.82, 12.81, 7.17. 15.43, 17.78. 17.28. and in 2006; through July; ONLY 4.17 inches of water! (Data is for Prescott AMA). Winter 06 snowpack is only 20% of normal.
In addition, our reservoir capacities (1971-2005) show 2004-5 to be at the lowest level.
Don’t you see the “Train Wreck” coming?
Clearly the PV Mayor and council with Larry Tarkowski’s tutoring from the Fain Family Trust; owners of thousands of acres to be developed, don’t want the growth to slow down! Clearly, the thrust of the Fains and the Pierces and other large ranchers is to maximize growth untill forced to stop by law! You must call, write and speak to your friends and neighbors about the future of our community. Apathy allows Evil to rule the day. Are you a part of the problem?
If we don’t start electing people who support preservation of our water over growth; our property values will drop like a STONE! WE must act while there’s still time!
