Dear Commissioners,
With the declaration of Stage 2 water restrictions we must consider additional restrictions to help Bozeman
limp through this problem.
I would urge you to follow the lead of other cities and stop issuing permits for construction of any building
that will connect to City water until the crisis has passed.
I can provide you with newspaper articles about other towns doing just that in an effort to limit water
usage. When I lived in the town of Tequesta,.Florida the Town Council stopped all construction until they
were able to secure a reliable supply of water to the town. The aquifer had been drawn down to the point
there was salt water intrusion into the wells. Rather than risk jeopardizing the supply of water to the town a
salt water desalination system was developed and building permits were again issued.
We need to take immediate action to secure our water supply. The work to find a solution must shared by
all.
Cease issuing any permit for all structures that entail a connection to our water supply.
Sincerely,
Carol Fifer
