The next COWBRA general membership meeting is on May 21st ,
9:30 AM at Valencia Isles, which is located on Lyons Road between Boynton
Beach Blvd and Hypoluxo Road. At this meeting, if the legislation session
in Tallahassee is completed, our legislators give the COBWRA members
an update on what has happened.
At the April 16th meeting, Commissioner Kanjian spoke about resident
complaints of strangers knocking on doors and the unfairness of 15% increase
in water use fees,
Commissioner Aaronson disagrees with him on the increase in water bills because during the Hurricanes of 2004 & 2005, Palm Beach County Water Utilities supplied clean water to the unincorporated area. The plant did not go down as in other cities. 80% of the water fees collected goes to maintenance of the water pipes and facilities in order to keep the water clean and healthy.
Capt. Martin Bechtel announced the Grand Opening of the new District 6 Sheriff’s Sub-Station, on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at 10 a.m. It is located at 7894 South Jog Road. Everyone is invited.
