DO NOT EXPIRE THE SOUTHLINE WATER. YOU WILL EXPIRE THE PEOPLE, ANIMALS & PLANTS OF OUR VALLEY.
DO NOT SQUANDER OUR PRECIOUS WATER ASSET.
There are 13 connections to the Southline. Many of them, like my homestead, has been hooked into the line before the county took control in 1980( "Grandfathered”). We are using the water beneficially. Livestock, irrigation and domestically. Please let it continue.
The Southline is a backup water source for Montello. Montello township has grown exponentially the past couple years. Elko County needs to plan for future growth.
It supplies water for fires on the south side of 233.
Montello and the surrounding area have formed a temporary water board. We are helping to facilitate a GID (general improvement district). We are hoping to convince the County Commissioners to allow this solution.
In 2009, Elinor Ostrom won the Economic Nobel prize. She debunked the previous theory, “the Tragedy of the Commons” by Garret Hardin. Mrs. Ostrom had a far more optimistic view. Stakeholders and locals are better equipped to find solutions.
Vincent & Elinor Ostrom believed in polycentric governance. The definition of polycentric means having more than one center. Let us form the GID, with help from Elko County. Working together. Presently, Montello has no voice on water issues that affect our lives. Worse than that, the county keeps us in the dark. Let us endeavor a “bottom up” solution along with assistance from the county. Thank you.
