• We've got water at Mission Springs again! I even got to take a shower this evening. The staff was great throughout the smelly crisis. They worked hard to fix the problem (working in the ditch until 3 a.m. this morning), kept information flowing, developed creative alternatives to make the scheduled July 4th celebration happen, maintained their normal friendly dispositions throughout, and took appropriate safety precautions. Very commendable!
