The Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District Board has unanimously approved Will Serve Letters for 981 houses in Heartland, Area 5.
In 2003, when Beaumont had a population of 15,000, Heartland was granted a Will Serve Letter which expired in 2004.
The Water District’s ‘evidence’ includes a document from the City of Beaumont dated September 30, 2014 stating that $607,000 in Mello Roos Funds from the 1994 Bond were illegally used to pay Mitigation Fees to the Water District.
The Water District also submitted Resolution 2014-05 which halted approval of Will Serve Letters until there is an adequate water supply, but the Water Board ignored their own Resolution.
State law requires the Water District to have a 20 year supply of water before a District can issue Will Serve Letters, but the Water Board ignored State Law too.
The Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District Board used the same excuse that Beaumont’s City Council uses; if they don’t aide and abet criminal activity, the Developers will sue.
I hope that Jeff Cottrell, Nathan Douglass, Daniel Slawson, John Convington, and David Hoffman are proud of themselves; they have proven to be just as as stupid as Beaumont City Council Members.
#1 – There is no recourse under the law for criminal activity.
#2 – The ‘lawsuit’ will be from the 50,000 Rate Payers that will not have water in a couple years because the Water District and squandered the Beaumont Basin.
