I am here to DEFEND Kerr Lake and Warren county's share of Kerr Lake regional water system. Warren county is 20% owner of Kerr Lake regional water system, with Henderson and Oxford. That stake is a county asset. I oppose any deal that gives Franklin County control of KLRWS. Keep Warren's 20% ownership and wholesale customers (Norlina, Warrenton, Middleburg and others). Finish the pipes we already have. The county has been running on failing pumps and old mains. Finish grant backed main replacement and pump-station repairs before chasing new industrial demand. Publish a simple public utilities dashboard: leaks found, mains replaced, hydrants restored and water loss percentage. Use state drinking-water and sewer grants first so ratepayers are not asked to subsidize other counties' growth.
