      <![CDATA[The central fact about Tucson's water supply problem is easy to understand: the region gets 7 inches of rain annually and uses the equivalent of 36 inches annually. Most of the supply, 85%, comes from ground water pumped from a rapidly falling and overused water table.* To have a desert city wasting water by not replacing widespread leaking pipes defines the essence of bad government.

      <![CDATA[When I was curator of the Fremont/Carrillo House in the early 80s there was a constant odor of sewage and a dampness in the area around the adobe structure. The city worked on the problem as it was in their interest to do so, but obviously when private parties are concerned the city takes its sweet time to solve water problems.

      <![CDATA[The concepts of "fairness" and "do the right thing" certainly aren't part of governmental employee morals. If we operated our business the way the City is addressing this lawsuit with evasive and misleading tactics, we would be out of work.

      <![CDATA[I work in the Barrio everyday and see the destruction caused by the City of Tucson’s deteriorating water mains to the historic buildings owned by the Rollings family. City of Tucson and Water Dept. leaders should feel ashamed of their wonton negligence and disregard  for the maintenance  and replacement of  the old and leaking water mains which have severely damaged a number of special adobe buildings.

      <![CDATA[It seems that The City's strategy here is to do little other than hoping that the plaintif will run out of funds to litigate. At this point they are probably very concerned of opening the floodgates to additional lawsuits by excavating & replacing the old water mains thus exposing how bad the problem has been for so long with no action on their part other than minor "band-aids" therapy.

      <![CDATA[Mr Rollings has described the situation in a very logical and factual fashion. There does not appear to be any doubt that the city of Tucson, specifically, the water department, is negligent in maintance and repair.
