This is something done in other areas. We want to protect the investment we're making in the upgrades.

We have been moving forward and are leaving no stone unturned in looking for a new water supply. Time is of the essence. We need to get the moratorium lifted.

This was an initial draft of an idea. There's nothing cast in stone. We expected them to refer it to their solicitors and come back with comments to it. I don't look at it as a rejection. This is the start of a dialogue.

It's up to each individual township. If a township wants several different water suppliers, so be it. We thought it would be a lot cleaner this way. This is done in many townships throughout the state.
