Two Surveys
First was included in our water bills. The city has been making mention that they wanted the citizens input on this next budget. Our city needs to know there are residents that want to be heard.
Second is a part of the comprehensive plan update.

Also, get as many people/businesses to the final Argonne project meeting. The mayor said county, fire, police, school district representatives would be there. Many have said it is pointless to go, but just having opportunity to voice to people “outside” of Millwood that it is not a popular project is worthwhile. Thursday 9/19 6-8pm

The question was asked if selling water would lower water bills, and the mayor said it may prevent them from going up. Then he explained the sad state of our water system.
