I came here tonight certainly not to offer any excuses. We certainly owe you a great big apology.

We certainly look forward to putting this past us and moving forward concretely and in very positive steps towards rebuilding our credibility with the community.

It's an important well for us. Right now, we've been able to manage the system without it, because water demands are not high. But as we move toward warmer weather, we will certainly need it.

I think what's perhaps most disheartening about this petition is that these issues were examined recently by the board.

They are saying there is no immediate health threat. United Water is not telling you that the water is safe. That language comes from EPA.
