I don't see it as a war. What was said is accurate, they were cited, didn't comply fast enough and got a slap on the wrist. The issue with 5 out of 6 citations was a sudden influx of overwhelming amounts of water that caused overflow. Several repairs have been made to alleviate the problem. So why all the hype and hysteria? What you are seeing on the water this year is the same thing that goes in the water all year every year, it is called TREATED WASTE WATER. It is more evident this year because of the drought. Where would you propose they send the treated water?

Virtually everyone I know lives on or makes their living directly or indirectly from the lake, successful business people all. To suggest that we don't care about the lake or just aren't smart enough to realize where our income comes from, well I find that insulting to say the least. And I am sure that I am not alone in these sentiments. I am just more outspoken than most.

And BTW-- the comment about upstream was sarcasm. Sorry you guys aren't sharp enough to catch it.
