      Subject: Snake Valley Water 




      Water is the oil of the future in terms of the scarcity of natural
      resources.   Utah......HOLD OFF!!  Nevada is not worthy of one gallon of
      our most precious resource.  Not to mention that there is scientific
      data that suggests that if the Snake Valley Aquifer is tapped, it could
      soon be infiltrated with brackish water from the Great Salt Lake.  



      What about our farmer?



      Secret meetings to determine allocation of OUR WATER?????? Nonsense I
      say!!!! 



      Las Vegas growth has outpaced water needs?  TOO BAD!!!!!!  How
      ridiculous is it to have a gigantic city that is dying of thirst in the
      middle of some of the most inhospitable country in the United States



      I propose that IF Nevada is in such need for our water, we give them the
      option to pay the same price a Salt Lake City resident pays for
      household water consumption. The revenue could be invested in Utah State
      Infrastructure, education, and a host of other needy areas.



      Ridiculously high water costs will curb Las Vegas growth.  



      I say Nevada is not due one ounce of our most precious resource.  NOT
      ONE OUNCE!!!!
