Pensioners hit by water extraction
I note that, in the February 4 edition of Peninsula News, Gosford Council claimed that no groundwater was pumped out of the Peninsula during the later part of last year.
That is good, but, what has been happening in the New Year?
It would appear to me that Council is now making up for that miss, have the Council got it in for the Peninsula pensioners, who for years, have been maintaining home gardens with the assistance of bore water?
We now find that to maintain these gardens we must use the Council water supply and by coincidence have to pay for this privilege.
The people that voted this Council in are now paying for what we thought was the best option.
