I don't think we're ready to jump into the water business. It's not like it was 20 years ago.

[The Kravis, which was in the middle of a roof repair, escaped serious damage.] There was just a little water here and there, nothing significant, ... Nothing too exciting, which is fine with me.

I never dreamed the water would get that high.

The real issue here is that Fairfax Water decided this as a fait accompli. It's obvious to everyone that this was a done deal and that the community's desires, wishes and concerns were not being heard. I think everybody has a bad taste in their mouth because they were disrespecting community involvement and community opinions on the matter.

It's been a long-standing policy that public water not be extended North of Georgetown Pike for a variety of reasons. It provides an incentive for more intensive development, and there are environmental issues ... it just seemed that all of a sudden historical policy didn't matter anymore.

It replaces some of the wearing surface and seals it so water can't get in - water is the enemy of the street. We've already cracksealed the streets - we've found that it works better when we've done that, ... The contractor is doing some patching that we weren't able to get to.
