The Water Board’s Not-So-Public Notice

On September 29th, the Water Board released a public notice regarding the extension of frontage. Any recent visit to the Water Board website and you’re bound to find this public notice, right? Wrong!

This new public notice is secreted away with nearly a dozen other obscure public notices. The is no indication on the site’s homepage that there is a new public notice to be viewed; they just took a controversial issue like extending frontage and did what they could to pass it below the radar without notifying people that it’s happening or what they can do to protest it.

The internet should be used to share information. The Water Board didn’t even have a website until less than a year ago, opting instead to keep all their goings-on a secret. We thought that their new website would be a great way to finally inform the public about the operations of a city entity that had previously been shrouded in secrecy. But if the Water Board isn’t using their website to share information and inform the public, what is it for?

To find an affordable veterinarian is an easier task in a
large metropolitan area than it is in a rural setting, because the volume of available veterinarians in cities gives the odds a
boost in a pet owner’s favor. I hope you enjoyed this little journey into the world of Protein.
Not only will he encounter dozens of new smells, but he may also hear barking dogs, meowing cats and strange
voices.
