    Matthew,

    Thank you for your article in the BDN today. The article is perfect and the timing strategic. Bangor Water District has been in the news quite a bit lately focused on our rate increase needed to help rebuild our piping infrastructure. The value of water, the brutal reality of the condition of our hidden infrastructure, and the need to spend money to renew the system is not highlighted enough with our customers. I appreciate your words. I hope our customers listen.

    Thanks again.

    I don’t have Peter Goodwin’s contact info. Please forward my thanks to him and NEWEA.

    Best Regards,

    Kathy
