The mills provided a significant part of the costs of building the system. Residents of Arcata, Eureka, and McKinleyville benefit from this system but do not consume enough water to make it profitable at the rates they now pay. Either additional consumers are found, or existing consumers will suffer a huge increase in the cost of their water.

It’s as simple as that. Sure. people can rant and rave about exports, but if they succeed in blocking them your water bills will skyrocket.

If KSB is reeling someone in, you know they’ve stepped over the line of enviro-loopiness.

No negative impact?
