And yet we need a lazy river, gathering places and other unnecessary things??? The city can’t supply us with clean water and now maybe no water at all. How does this even make any sense? City Government continues to fail Saline taxpayers! Maybe we need to hire more consultants and spend even more money 🤪.
Not a great situation and not mad at the City. City administrators have done their job. Well 7 was introduced and under construction to meet the needs of the City.
You obviously think the city bears no responsibility ever for anything! That’s ok. You can continue to point fingers, deny accountability and make excuses but what I know is that when I pay my water bill it’s made out to “The City of Saline” so as far as I’m concerned the buck ultimately stops there!
Heavy rain, with a high of 82 and low of 65 degrees. Overcast in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, thundery outbreaks in nearby for the evening, overcast overnight.
So has the rec center been included in reducing water usage? How about the 4 car wash businesses?
I would like to hear more about that point. Seems very valid . I assume they are clear to use as much as they wish while we are told to use less.
The rec center sent out emails asking members to take either brief showers or wait until they get home.
Look into the negative environmental impact and how this will increase our utility bills. Farm land is precious especially considering how much has already been sold and developed into non agricultural land. This is blatantly wrong for everyone. Saline Township MUST VOTE THIS DOWN. IT’s NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!
Things like the data center are minimal impact and the least of our worries regarding loss of farmland. Just over seven months into 2025, farmers are literally dumping their crops because there is no one to sell them to. Why?
It’s not worth it. We must not allow the data center
