I think he wants to get water from where it doesn't exist. He doesn't believe any engineering studies or the cost projections. Lueck said he's ardently opposed to using treated wastewater water for drinking. I'm opposed to it, as the taxpayers are. But Lueck said he doesn't believe them.
Every price tag is as high as they can dream.
He did not elaborate on what kind of motive would prompt city employees to overestimate the cost of building Ringgold, except to say they want to shove sewer water down residents' throats. Lueck said he also believes the watershed for Ringgold is equal to the watershed of Lakes Kickapoo and Arrowhead combined. City engineers have always maintained that Ringgold shares its watershed with the two other city lakes and has an unencumbered watershed of only 20 miles. Lakes Kickapoo and Arrowhead can produce up to 50 million gallons of water per day. Ringgold will yield only 24 million gallons per day, city engineers have said.
