Emotions ran high during a meeting where the Casa Grande City Council voted 4-3 to no longer support flood irrigation in the Evergreen area east of City Hall.
Longtime resident Michael Jackson, owner of BeDillon’s Restaurant, said he and his wife, Nancy, always wanted to live in the Evergreen Irrigation District.
According to Jackson, for about 30 years he had consistent water and healthy trees. However, after a pump caught on fire, it was replaced. The pump fell apart within five years.
