Hopefully they invite Peter Quesada and Jon Jennings!  The two guys most responsible for this crazy saga...along with the members of the City Council between 2016 and 2020 that allowed this unnecessary re-direct of city resources.

The only silver lining to the lack of rain the last 3 months is that we had less of a need for this kind of facility which I believe is now finally operational (though a ribbon-cutting does not necessarily mean it is actually 100% on-line yet).
