I am surprised at the Town Crier letters (especially a prior board member) saying how the Idyllwild Water District should allow tours of its facilities.  In this day and age of terrorism, water is to be protected with the utmost security.

I’m not saying our residents could be terrorists, but tours would give an opening to those who are and to vandals.  I’m sure there is a government agency that inspects water districts.

IWD needs to hold firm and do not allow tours by customers, but instead try to educate the ignorant.  Because “security” is the reason why no tours.
