The last few years of unwarranted legal attacks, and the defense of same, have cost our Water Company (WOWSC) upwards of $500,000 and resulted in out-of-pocket cost to ALL neighbors. This petition is in support of the WOWSC, and our "volunteer" Directors, for their attention to keeping our water company afloat.
We make the following statements in effort to stop the lawsuits and the bleed of community funds (costs to all neighbors) — to save Windermere Oaks and the WOWSC from the divisive tactics of a few serial litigants. As ratepayers and property owners we join together to represent:
• to the Public Utilities Commission that we do not support investigation of the WOWSC. This investigation costs us unnecessarily in legal fees and we believe our Directors have acted diligently to work within the guidelines of the corporation & the law.
• to the court we plead to please stop these frivolous lawsuits against our water company (WOWSC). The litigants have been denied by the court at least 6 times, yet they continue to use the court's time and cost us, their neighbors, our hard-earned dollars to defend from their attacks. We do not support their claims against the WOWSC.
• to the litigants who have cost us so much with their legal attacks on our Water Company — this must stop. We do not support your damaging & costly behavior.
• to neighbors we ask you look further for the truth and act on facts not friendship (see links below for the facts).
Respectfully,
Windermere Oaks, Tennis Village, Pilots' Landing, and Spicewood Airport Ratepayers of WOWSC

Our family has been in Windermere since 1991. My father served as President of the WOPOA for many years. He passed away last year, but was appalled by the lawsuits that were taking place. The attacks need to stop so we can all get back to the peaceful neighborhood that we have enjoyed for so many years.
I am relatively a new resident at the Windermere neighborhood. We decided to live here as it seemed a nice, quiet neighborhood with friendly folks, away from the hustle of a big city. I am shocked at the number of frivolous lawsuits that are filed against volunteer directors who are dedicated and work hard to keep the costs low for everyone. I fully support this petition to stop frivolous lawsuits. The energy, time and money spent on this could be used for the benefit of the neighborhood and bring the community together!
I am fairly certain many residents don't love paying some of the highest water/sewer rates in the entire state of Texas. How is is that every comment is one-sided? Are the comments being censored?
I’m a real estate investor and currently own 4 properties that get their water from WOWSC, but have owned as many as 11 over the years. If anyone wants lower rates its me. It’s shocking how many of our members are deceived into believing WOWSC actually takes joy charging higher rates than necessary. How absurd. The rates are high because of the lawsuits filed by Flunker, Sorgen and Ffrench DUH. Same persons behind all the lawsuits (marina, and now even the airport!). Lawyers are the winners - not the persecuted, honorable public servants of our NON PROFIT water supply.
I've been a resident of WO for 2 & 1/2 years. I'm disheartened and disappointed by all of these unwarranted lawsuits. Trying to reverse a legal land sale will only result in more litigation we'll all continue to pay for. I'm indebted to the generosity and service of the volunteers of WOWSC and would love to see what they can do free of the burden of lawsuits. It needs to stop. Also, our rates are insane because of this!
Please stop the lawsuits they are doing nothing to reduce expenses - they only continue to increase the costs of our water bills - lets get back to paying for water and not lawsuits - let's get back to peace, forgiveness and reconciliation in this wonderful neighborhood with our wonderful neighbors.
These people opposing all have continually had an adverse negative impact on WO

Having served on the Windermere board for the last four years, I can say unequivocally that this small group of people is causing an unbelievable amount of harm and expense to our neighborhood. My family has been a part of Windermere since 1989...the lawsuits and divisiveness have to stop!
