Observer Hot Takes: Clarksburg Water Board Issues (ep. 2)
<p><strong>Observer Live</strong> wanted the Clarksburg Water Board’s General Manager, Jason Meyers, for a real sit down interview about lead line replacement, project updates, and rising rates. Two days before the show, he backed out.So we did what we always do. We stayed transparent with you, read his email on air, and talked through what the public can actually find on the Water Board website, including the November 24 project updates and the “CWB Tariff” document that has people confused and frustrated.We break down why a “virtual town hall” is not the same as being questioned in real time, why the word “tariff” feels misleading, and why lead exposure is not a joke, especially for babies and pregnant women. We also talk about the bigger trust problem, how public agencies communicate, and why the community deserves clear answers.This episode is part comedy, part civic reality check, and 100% about getting closer to the truth.Like, subscribe, and drop your questions in the comments. If you have a specific concern about your neighborhood or your bill, tell us what you are seeing and we will dig into it on a future show.Linkshttps://welshforhouse.comhttps://www.clarksburgwaterproject.com</p>
