It could use a pressure wash and a clear coat. I don't think it needs a full paint job yet. It should be good for about twenty years. A pressure wash and clear coat could run as high as $50K. A full strip down prime and paint X2 coats would run about $100K or more on that tank. It is in...

And that is EXACTLY the reason that POACRE will remain intact and be the titled owner of the amenities and continue to collect the M&O fees dedicated to the private use of those amenities. The ONLY way that could change would be if the property owners should vote to transfer them to the...

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The boundaries of Calvert Shores were decided before September of 2014 and were submitted to the Board of Elections and the Attorney General for approval of the construction of the petition at that time. The map attached to the petition has...

There is no discussion about changing the course of the Water Company OR the Calvert county Water and Sewer services in the LTC. Only the subscribers of CRWC could affirmatively alter the course of CRWC to become an enterprise operation of Calvert Shores. That power comes to CRWC through the...

LightRoasted: Where would you have laid down the boundary? Conflating CRWC with CRE with Municipality as in a shell game and then using an army of straw man arguments presents no argument but only accusation and paranoia. Your statements only bring out the fact that you are an anarchist, a...

In the end, the municipality must not be about CRE, but about the areas that need municipal services. The municipality must be a healthy one and that means some level of uniformity, a reasonable chance at economic development, and a commercial area that makes sense for those in the municipality...

Water systems are started to provide water as a public health service. CRWC is a not for profit cooperative association owned by its subscribers who control their own rates. Although there are profit motive water systems around, very few are profitable. They can only make money during a growth...

I don't think I need to dispute claims that have no basis in fact or are even possible. They are simply a product of your large imagination. In order to make an allegation that is even plausible, you need to explain HOW the water company could possibly profit. It's very expensive to extend...

NorthBeachPerson: I agree. But, on day 1 it is nearly impossible to make a financial forecast as to where that level will eventually find itself. It will be a high/low waterline kind of developing number. The Organizing Committee can make promises but has no authority to act on them leaving...

There is a long list of taxes paid by CRE residents that are traditionally shared with municipalities: Property Taxes, Income Taxes, and Highway User Revenues are just 3. These are taxes paid by CRE residents but with no benefit being brought back to this community. Only a municipal...

No, just anybody that argues emotionally without substance or fact is not doing anything but making noise. So far, all I see in opposition is noise. Opinion is OK, but an opinion based on emotion is not good argument. If someone could develop a scenario to demonstrate how forming a...

This is a very informative and constructive thread. Thank you to NorthBeachPerso and Officeguy for the dialogue. The detractors of the municipal effort do not seem to be able to come up with anything more than an emotional argument. Without getting into the weeds , it is obvious and easy...

I think the Schools actions were dictated by Flores v Morgan Hill United School Dist. (9th Circuit Court, 2003) This is not this schools first time at the dance.

It's your house, your risk.

It's a bomb. Static psi can easily reach 300 psi if the TP safety valve is failed closed or plugged. Check out mythbusters exploding water heaters on youtube.
