The N&R weighs in on the Randleman Dam, saying a “helpful offer from High Point and Greensboro was rebuffed by the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority last week with suggestions that the cities are all wet.”
At issue is who should build the pump station along N.C. 62 that will transfer water from the dam to High Point and Greensboro. Both cities build pump stations routinely, the N&R says, so it makes sense to let them go ahead and get started on it while the authority concentrates on a water treatment plant. Problem is the authority is insisting on building the pump station, too.
I’ll give editorialists at the N&R credit for staying on top of this particular issue. I can’t help but note, however, that toward the end of the editorial they praise Greensboro City Council member Trudy Wade for pushing the issue at a council briefing next week. Such praise for Wade’s views on water didn’t exactly flow from East Market Street in the days following the November election.
