Letter to Study Butte Water Board 

(included without comment)

Dear Board Members:

My name is Dave Byrne and I am a resident of BJ’s RV Park for almost four years. I am 75 years old and seriously handicapped walking only by using a walker.  There are other full time residents of this park as well, including children and infants.

Recently, a pressure reducer was not reinstalled as it should have been causing RV hookup sites to have water leaks. These leaks were not discovered until after some time had passed because there are no guests here during the summer months.

I feel that the leaks were the fault of the work crews for Study Butte Water and that the company bares responsibility for them and that BJ’s is not negligent with regard to the leaks. I feel that the Water Company and BJ’s should work towards a reasonable solution that would keep the water on as it would be a serious detriment to my life as it would be to others if water was not available.

Thank you for your consideration,

Dave Byrne
