A Chat with the Head Representative at
Ventura River Water District
by Don Bradley
April 6, 2019
So, yesterday I went in to pay my water
bill at the offices of our local water district. Being the way I am,
I inquired if our punishing water rates were to go back to normal
rates, now that both the governor of California AND the State Water
Board have declared the drought officially over, in early March of
this year.
They said, “No. Because the governor
is wrong.”
“Excuse me? What about all the
rainfall we've had, the full water tables, the flooding and flowing
creeks, rivers, etc? The clerk didn't say anything and called someone
to the front window, who apparently was in charge of facing tough
questions. You know, like involving the truth or facts that everyone
I TALK TO is more than aware of. “
I made the same statements to him, as
well as telling him about the 3 rain gauges in the valley that I am
aware of—of which I have two—and that regardless of where in the
valley these gauges were, they reported water levels above 40
inches...and still counting. In fact, it was raining yesterday. And
the day before. And almost every single week since November of
2018.
He said my gauges must be wrong and he
must be adding the numbers together. That... that he would believe.
So, after calling me a liar, he then went on to say that we only
received 25 inches. And that the drought is still stage 3 and was on,
with the same F you spank me rates we are being spanked for. He
went on to lie to me about how poor little lake Casitas is our water
supply is so very low, don't you know, and that we use it for water.
That's when I had the lying bastard.
I point blank told him that we have
NEVER received our water from Lake Casitas in the history of this
valley and that, in point of fact, all our water comes FROM GROUND
WELLS, OF WHICH THERE ARE SEVEN. And these wells are full to
over-flowing.
He blanched. Well, yes, of course we
get our water from wells, but Lake Casitas is our back up. That's
another lie. The wells have NEVER gone dry. Ever. All the
springs and creeks are full, just from seepage from below, because in
this valley, at floor level, the water table is a mere six feet below
ground level. That is how saturated our earth is. I then informed him
that even Nordhoff cemetery has flooding issues, because of high
ground water levels and that folks with wells are reporting the
Highest water tables THEY HAVE EVER SEEN.
I then asked him why they kept emptying
the filling lake every summer to being near bone dry. He lied
to again and said that NEVER happens.
Again, I had the lying public official.
I informed the repeat offender that I, in fact, looked upon the lake
from my domicile and watched them do it every year. Right into the
ocean, ten miles away. At that point, he went silent.
These lying pigs, what with their
agenda 21/2030 keeps us poor, in ugliness, fear, and slavery, tell so
many lies, they don't even apologize when they are caught lying. And
over and over and over again.
I walked out in disgust.
After of course, telling him I was a
journalist and thanks for my next article.
