THE PEOPLE SPEAK – Gruber should help with water issues

— I would like for the officers at Camp Gruber and OMD to explain why the citizens of Braggs are having to boil water when the camp has plenty to share?

We just received another boil notification and according to Braggs Public Works, Gruber only let us have (buy) enough to fill our towers once.

For years the city of Braggs provided Camp Gruber with water, which is why the shared line is there. Citizens of Braggs have always supported the camp, in fact most of us work there or are retired from there, what’s the problem?

Citizens of Braggs, most of which are military families, deserve better than this. Our elected officials need to get involved to help our town. We support our troops and hope they support us.
