How sadly ironic, that the very summer Flathead Lake has flooded for the first time since 1964, and most of our rivers
are still flooding due to excess water, the headlines of the Daily Inter Lake on 6/27/22 stated "Summer water shortage
threatens Kalispell'. Kalispell is not dealing with a lack of water, but a serious lack of proper management by our City
planning board and our City counsel. I am well aware of the phrase "growing pains", however the "if you build it, they will
come" mentality should include proper infrastructure, certainly adequate water for the existing citizens, before approving
growth that by their own estimates, has and is exceeding their plans for new water sources. So, Kalispell officials, I am
asking you to please lay down your well oiled "approved" stamp for thousands of new apartments, houses, and
businesses, and dust off your old calculator, because the numbers are not adding up. You must take care of what you
have, before you can responsibly add more.
Thank you,
Marilyn Driscoll
