Owner of the old Grove Theater building is sitting on water allotment, city want’s to pull it out from him..
On Wednesday, the P.G. City Council decided the owner of a downtown building who has excess water should either use the allotment or give it back so others can.
Rudas’ attorney, Dave Swaggert, firmly told the council they have no right to take away his client’s water. “I don’t know who is more shocked, Mr. Rudas or me,” Swaggert said, “that the [city] would deprive Mr. Rudas of a vested property right.”
