DEAR MR. SANTA CLARITA VALLEY — I place digits to laptop to protest the current sorry state of local Santa Clarita Valley water, how it’s being improperly managed and often being piped directly to the wrong people. We need responsible leadership in our local water boards and a blue-ribbon task force should be immediately formed to further study the matter. Other than water is somehow mysteriously getting more expensive, there is no excuse for why our rates should be so high. Perhaps there’s a leaky pipe somewhere. I had one once. It warped a bathroom door and caused lots of problems in that my wife’s sisters frequently came over to take showers and you could see stuff.

DEAR MR. SANTA CLARITA VALLEY — In response to Mr. Un-Watered’s completely idiotic take, I take umbrage to his one-size-fits-all approach to solving the death knell state of SCV water. My husband has sisters. They don’t take showers at our home or their place of employ (Burger King). Granted. They smell. Like burgers. We don’t need more useless bureaucrats spending years and billions of dollars to study water shortages and price hikes. Duh. FREEZE. THE. WATER. Take out the ice cubes in convenient and easy-to-handle little plastic trays when you need them and defrost, Un-Watered (if that is your REAL name). You mutt.
