If we don't manage our water, we will not have the Central Oregon we all have enjoyed. I am more concerned about our diminishing aquifer.

Piping and stop giving the farm water to golf courses.

The long term benefits far outweigh the short term costs. This is a no-brainer.

Taking care of our ecosystems is always the right decision.

The water we will save will pay for the cost in the future.

We have higher priorities for public money than replacing our historic canals and losing neighborhood character.

why would we want to remove the beauty of water running in our neighborhood?

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery

We need it for getting products quicker to everyone!👍

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.
