Al Abney of Cambria is correct in his  Jan. 22  letter, “Laundering water.”

It is a discriminating start for the Cambria Community Services District to transfer ratepayer fees and property taxes to buy commercial, high-efficiency laundry washing machines for a few customers to save water and to apply toward future development.

An improvement to benefit everyone would be to provide a community rebate program similar to that of appliance manufacturers and power companies. If there is insufficient funding or a grant cannot be obtained for a community effort, then phase the commercial program out.
