Water Not Waste was formed by residents of Glendale Road. We formed after the city settled with certain members of the Citizens' United group by buying their homes. We are not affiliated with that group. Our goal is to prevent the expansion of the Glendale Road Landfill over the Barnes Aquifer.
We are doing this to ensure the health of the environment surrounding this community as well as the protection of a water supply area. We also want to ensure the health and well-being of the residents of this community. We believe that it is our responsibility to protect the drinking water that is supplied to over 60,000 residents in neighboring communities.
My name is Mimi Odgers and I live on Glendale Road. I am the Chairperson of Water Not Waste.
Quotables
