City of Greensboro finally publishes a NEW WATER FORECAST

THE WATER CHART WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HAS ARRIVED
After 15 years of silence the City of Greensboro has finally published a new water needs chart (above). If you don't believe this is the city's exact chart, you can find it here on the city's website. Like your auto insurance policy or your credit card interest statement, this chart is intended to confuse you.



MY PREDICTION COMES TRUE
On Wednesday, June 24, 2009 I predicted that if the City of Greensboro ever produces another water forecast chart it will begin the chart's “Y axis” at zero million gallons per day (mgd). You will find my prediction here. That prediction made almost one year ago has now come true. The reason why Greensboro begins its “Y axis” at zero mgd is because it has much to hide.

The city should have begun its “Y axis” around 20 mgd to provide a close-up of what is going on with its declining water sales.

GOLD CHART HAS THE ANSWER
Notice in the chart to the right how the gold market begins its "Y axis" at $880.00 per ounce. If it began the chart at zero dollars per ounce (zero on the Y axis) everthing would be compressed and it would look like the price of gold has not changed! That’s exactly why Greensboro begins at "zero mgd" instead of 20 mgd! Yes, the City of Greensboro has much to hide—its declining water demand and its failed water needs projections that were fabricated to justify the Randleman dam.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
If you have not heard what really happened to Greensboro's water sales forecast, see my chart below.....

FALSE CLAIM
Right from the beginning the city's new chart makes a false claim. It shows that water use increased between 1990 and 2000. Will anybody question the city's misrepresentation of fact?

The city's new chart is also wrong between 2006 and 2010 where it shows a steady increase in water use. 

DRUM ROLL....AND NOW FOR THE CITY'S NEWEST WATER FORECAST
Water demand has declined ever since 1994 and the city has cleverly concealed this fact for 15 years! Now, beginning this year the city is predicting that water sales will steadily and dramatically increase ......until 2050. That's how it plans to justify three more expansions of the Randleman water treatment plant (see arrows).


THE DAM SCAM CONTINUES
Do you really think that water demand will increase given that manufacturing has departed, migration from the north has slowed and the price of water is rising? Do you want even more water purchased from Randleman in 2022, 2030 and 2040 when the city has such a poor track record of predicting its future water needs? Beware, because this is what your city is planning to do.

Why have you not seen the city's new water forecast chart in the local news? Why hasn't any local reporter brought it to your attention? There's a cover-up going on, that's why. Greensboro purchased 53% of Randleman Reservoir and it is about to expand its water resources by 75%...after a 15 year decline in water sales. This is the Randleman Dam Scam and cover-up. It is the largest municipal fraud in the history of Greensboro.
