The residents of Lewiston and Auburn can be thankful indeed that Mayor Carl Sheline of Lewiston has enough foresight to call for a moratorium on any further voting regarding the Lake Auburn watershed issue(s) until a more comprehensive study has been completed.
I wish I could say the same for Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque who, along with a few other individuals, seem to be trying desperately to bulldoze their agenda through as fast as possible (again), before more people come to realize just how crucial this issue really is. (Do people recall how quickly “The Court/Lake Street rezoning vote” was shoehorned in two weeks ago?)
Residents of Lewiston and Auburn must get involved right now before it’s too late, because the clock is ticking very fast. The next meeting of the board of trustees for the Auburn Water & Sewerage District is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20, and I would urge anyone interested to call their office to get further details.
The AW&SD board of trustees has the power to halt this issue immediately until a more comprehensive study of the watershed has been conducted. Residents should try to attend that meeting and/or do anything they can to stop this reckless attempt to destroy Lake Auburn, one of our most precious natural resources.
Residents of Lewiston and Auburn need to remember that it’s their drinking water and that, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
