I was shocked that they didn't know what that meant and why the signs for desalination were on lawns. I believe you have to have signs indication - I don't want to drink Hudson River water. Some people just don't have a clue as to what is going on. Addy Hi,

Was at your Tues., 1/29 meeting and told several neighbors in Nanuet and Pearl River about desalination. I was shocked that they didn’t know what that meant and why the signs for desalination were on lawns.

I believe you have to have signs indication – I don’t want to drink Hudson River water. Some people just don’t have a clue as to what is going on.

This means that the movement against this horrible idea is not being vocal enough. Get involved! Obtain a lawn placard at the least! Write your local representatives! Update this website with more commentary! PS I wonder if any other local communities in the USAare fighting something like this...I wish I had more time from work to get involved more!

They will get the tax benafit. For those who use the water will pay a higher rate and there is no way of getting around it. The plant will be costly to maintain. Those added fees are on going and will escalate in time. The power to drive it will be expensive and the cost of that power changes year to year. All you need is an energy shortage. There are to many variables that will effect the cost of purification. I don't think there is a necessity for it. I pass the dam at least once a week and it is full and it has been that way as long as I can remember. This is a means to generate more profit and nothing more All they have to do is dig a bigger hole to retain more water. This is a one shot thing and not an ongoing expense. It cost me about $70.00 to $150 per quarter depending on the season. I can see that increase at least ten percent with out question. I don't like it and I don't support it and it smells fishy. There are alot of other ways this can be done. John The treatment plant is good for Haverstraw. They will get the tax benafit.

For over a hundred years companies have been polluting the Hudson River with poisonous chemicals. For years now, residents were warned against eating fish from the Hudson River This filtering process will be a mechanical process, and mechanical operations are known for breaking down during their lifetime. I would rather see another resevoir in Tomkins Cove where the water company already has bought up property there for the resevoir.

This number increases constantly, and ONLY reflects the base cost to build the plant. The NEW price tag on the Desalination facility is listed in the DEIS as upwards to $178,000,000.
