Speak Out: Falls Church Water Deal
A recent attempt to sell the Falls Church water system to Fairfax Water failed. Are you disappointed?
With a drought gripping much of Illinois, officials are asking Naperville residents to water parkway and newly planted trees.

Last week, the City of Falls Church decided to end discussions with Fairfax Water to sell the utility company.
That leaves Falls Church Water customers, including many who live in McLean, with no choice but to pay higher rates than residents in other parts of Fairfax County.
Patch reader Rob Jackson wrote, "In my opinion, the City of Falls Church is violating state law by refusing to justify its higher rates for water with Fairfax County"
What do you think about the botched deal? Let us know in the comments section.

Falls Church believes it owns valuable assets and wants to be paid for them. Who paid for those assets? Fairfax County rate payers, largely. Falls Church politicians appear to live in an alternative universe, where facts are irrelevant.
