The general belief was that the water was going to come from a a reservoir west of the Springs and they would just condemn the land from there along I-25 and then up to the dam.

Eminent domain is over used and the people along the pipeline would have been unhappy. We found at least 6 or more companies being formed to handle this. It would have been worse for me. They weren't going to take my land so I wouldn't have gotten a dime. I would have had to buy flood insurance and the cheap construction would have led to seepage. Seepage kills septic systems. With no septic system and a dam looming overhead my house value would have been zero. The shitbird from Penley actually stood up at a meeting and said none of these would have been responsibilities for his group.

I know this isn't necessarily the end. In the current market, developing for housing doesn't make much sense so who knows what will happen next?
