Aldercroft Heights' water board is very concerned about the logging plan. Board members attended the Sept. 11 meeting and due to how affected the A.H. water source is to the plan, they have sent the required documentation in response to the NTMP intent posting.

Residents should contact their water board members to receive details.

I called the Water District office this morning. I asked what the position of the district is vis a vis the Plan. I was told that they have requested a copy of the plan and are waiting to receive it. I was told that the District is very small and has limited resources to look into the possible effects before the plan is made public. I was not told that any documentation other than the request for a copy of the plan has been provided.

To be honest, I wasn't satisfied with the response I received.

The next water board meeting is October 6 at 6:30pm in the 'Clubhouse' at Lexington School.

Catherine,

I am of the understanding that the Aldercroft Hts. Water Board has sent back a response to the NTMP intent posting. You might want to call them back one more time and ask what specifically they have done in response to the published intent.

That's different than asking what is their position. The board can't publicly take a position, so you are not likely to hear if they have one. However, they can let their customers know what they've done to register their concern for the A.H. water source given the letter and maps they received at the time the NTMP intent appeared in the newspaper.

I'd call again if I were you - and ask again.
