I don't think I've read, or heard anywhere a more succinct, yet understandable, and fair account of the choices facing Charlottesville-Albemarle on this critical choice. I think its noteworthy that the piece was able to raise the right questions with the proper degree of skepticism about the "dueling numbers". I would hope that City 'Council will not vote on whether to approve the "plan" until the U,S. Army Corp of Engineers has completed their evaluation and determined whether a permit can be granted for this plan or whether it must be further evaluated for its environmental and social impacts. WTJU, you're great. Rich Collins (former Chair RWSA 2001-2003) Rich coll I would like to compliment WTJU for the piece on the water supply planning.
