The following release comes from the Florida Springs Council. We are witnessing piece by piece and bit by bit, the slow and sure destruction of Silver Springs so that one foreign company can profit by taking our water. This is not Mr. Stronach’s water, it belongs to us, for everyone to enjoy. But these so-called water managers are giving it away. And Silver Springs is drying up. Come to this meeting and tell them to stop, or write a letter. Speak up.

Julia, please tell to Dr. Ann Shortelle, or Mr. John Miklos, at SJRWMD. They are the ones with the power and the responsibility to protect our springs.

My family often went to Silver Springs when I was a child. When I was married while at university, due to time constraints, we spent a weekend in the Silver Springs area, as my husband had never been.
Please stop the pumping. Silver springs is a treasure and we must protect it for future generations.
