Allendale gains the expertise and resources of United Water and at the same time we save a considerable amount in our water budget. We will be able to utilize those savings for rate stabilization and additional capital for our water infrastructure.” Controversy over the contract was stirred up by a lobby- ing group, but Barra -- a retired attorney -- refuted most of the arguments and was supported by most of the Allendale residents at the meeting. The parent company of United Water, Suez Environnement, is based in France, a country where environmental protection is taken very seriously. Conversely, the Society of American Civil Engineers currently gives a “D” rating to America’s water infra- structure and the United States Environmental Protection Agency predicts that it will take more than $600 billion III • Page 33 A family membership is $40 and an individual mem- bership is $25. All residents must have a permit and must display that permit on the new sign up board located at the entrance to the courts.
