1:04:06	Water rights in California are not first come first serve
1:04:14	Just because we are using more water then this basin is allowing does not mean that a owner of vacant land out there won't be able to develop

1:24:52	?, I have lived here 42 years I am not part of the problem, I should not have to pay for new houses
1:25:37	?, Tap off the pipe here?
1:26:31	? Assuming we go ahead with the project, can we get a low cost loan throught the state or county?

11/09/11, Mesa Community Alliance commnets:

Mesa Community Alliance's analysis of the MESA water supply issues
Questions you should ask about NCSD's pipeline and MESA water supply

11/09/11, John Snyder's comments:

NCSD is forced to present a onesided analysis:
The alleged problems and solution do not add up:
NCSD documents show the WIP is not the lowest cost solution, for example:
NCSD falsely claims: Our Community has only one source of water:

Lower cost solution #1 to 4:

NCSD agreement to support the WIP Page 22 Section VI. A. 3. :

“The Stipulating Parties (NCSD) agree to support (and, conversely, not to oppose in any way or to encourage or assist any other Person or party in opposing or challenging) the implementation of the MOU, which includes environmental and regulatory permits and approvals, the approval of a wholesale water supply agreement between Santa Maria and NCSD, and the alignment and construction of a pipeline and related infrastructure necessary to deliver the Nipomo Supplemental Water from Santa Maria to the NMMA”
