Basin Buys More Water
This turned out to be a re-announcement of what was done in May. Kind of like holding your Grand Opening a year after you really opened. Just a publicity stunt.
The Beatrice Sun reports an AP story that there has been another purchase of surface water from the same people that water was purchased from just a few weeks ago.
The story is a bit contradictory as it reports that the State made the purchase but also notes that only the NRDs have the authority to levy the taxes to make the purchase.
The McCook Gazette reports the same story but gives a different impression.
