Dear Dave:
Thank you for providing to the City a draft copy of the report
addressing water and wastewater for Southern Okeechobee County.
I asked the city's engineer and rate consultant to review the
report for the city. Enclosed are the comments which succinctly
addresses the city's concerns.
It was the city's understanding that this report was to answer the
questions of who best can deliver water and wastewater service to
Okeechobee County? Instead, we read where this report addresses
the governance alternatives for the creation, acquisition,
construction and operation of a regional water and wastewater
utility system. When the task force was meeting to discuss water
and wastewater, the city recommended doing a comprehensive study
which was turned down.
We would appreciate receiving a final copy of this report. If you
need to discuss any of our comments, please let me know.
Sin erely,
J. Drago
Administrator
