DEMAND THAT THE LINCOLN CITY COUNCIL CEASE ALL NEW HOME BUILDING UNTIL THEY GUARANTEE SUFFICIENT WAT

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA/CITY OF LINCOLN IS CURRENTLY IN THE THIRD YEAR OF A MULTI-YEAR DROUGHT.  THE PLACER COUNTY WATER AGENCY, THE MAIN SUPPLIER OF WATER TO THE RESIDENTS OF LINCOLN, HAS ASKED THAT ITS CUSTOMERS REDUCE THEIR WATER USAGE BY AT LEAST 25%.

REGARDLESS OF THE VERY SHORT SUPPLY OF WATER, THE CITY OF LINCOLN CONTINUES TO APPROVE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.  THESE NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WILL ADD THOUSANDS OF NEW RESIDENTS TO THE CITY OF LINCOLN WHICH WILL INCREASE THE WATER CONSUMPTION BYMMANY THOUSANDS OF GALLONS PER DAY.  THE EXISITING RESIDENTS MAY THEN BE ASKED TO REDUCE THEIR WATER CONSUMPTION BY 50% OR MORE.

THE BELOW CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF LINCOLN REQUEST THAT THE LINCOLN CITY COUNCIL IMMEDIATELY CEASE ALL NEW HOME CONBSTRUCTION AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS FROM BEING CONSTRUCTED UNTIL THE EXISITING RESIDENTS OF LINCOLN ARE QYUARANTEED A SUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF WATER IN THE EVENT OF A MULTIPLE DRY YEAR DROUGHT.
