Water woes threaten Lawrence area water strategy
The piece argues Douglas County and Baldwin City should resist costly water deals with Rural Water District No. 5 and De Soto. It blames Lawrence for overpricing and meter caps in the 1990s, urging collaborative planning to avoid sprawling new pipes and preserve the county’s reputation for cooperation. It contends the county can balance needs by uniting water users and repairing political rifts rather than building costly new infrastructure.
