Report of Liaison Mr. Garbowski

Mr. Garbowski addressed the letter that he had received from Mr. Moore regarding changes in the MUA Rules and Regulation 8.9 which states that the Authority shall not grant approval for lawn sprinkler systems that tap into the MUA distribution lines. Mr. Moore commented that this action was necessary to assure that water is always available for the public welfare.
