EVMWD Unused Cash Reserves are a Whopping $174 Million!

By Peter Gilbert Weber

Candidate for Director; Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District; Division 1

This information is provided by the candidate
EVMWD has cash reserves of over $174 million, a mere portion of this money could fix polltuion problems in our lakes, and fix the septic problems that contaminate our drinking water
Unused cash reserves have grown to over $174 million...and our water rates have increased also! A mere fraction of this $174 million would be enough to clean-up Canyon Lake which is a source of our drinking water. Septic tanks that pollute our water could also be fixed and Lake Elsinore water upgraded with a mere fraction of this huge amount of money. Our water rates are much higher than other water companies, this unused cash reserve equates to over $3,000 per household, we are being charged too much. Many other water companies have only $600 in cash reserve per household. As an EVMWD Board member I will change the way EVMWD management operates and stop making "band aid" fixes to our lake pollution such as adding Aluminum Sulfate. Aluminum Sulfate is a temporary fix that adverse effects fish, lake ecology, and people's long term health. We need safe drinking water, we have the money to accomplish this task but we need the leadership in EVMWD to make it happen. I promise I will if elected. I have served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and have a bachelor's degree in engineering and a master's degree in accounting. I work as a manufacturing manager in a national food manufacturing facility with over 2000 employees. My government experience serving as city Treasurer and Council member led to financial stability and better management operations in Lake Elsinore. My wife of 22 years is a Registered Nurse and we are raising two sons in Canyon Hills. Thank you for your support. My website will be updated regularly on peterweber2014.wordpress.com.
