Water Firm Owner Testifies Before PUC
William Lansdale testified at the Public Utilities Commission hearing for Dyke Water Co. of Garden in San Francisco Friday. He claimed the company’s defense was weak and that he alone secured a $3.8 million loan, while the PUC charges allege failure to comply with directives including meter installation to end a flat rate system. Lansdale’s mother, Ariyne Lansdale, secretary and treasurer, also testified about her salary and claimed to have employed turkeys and Christus presents. The presiding commissioner will refer the matter to the full commission for action.
