To the Editor:

This is a response to Edward Harkey (“Lagoons Dying,” 6/9) and Clayton Fairchild (“Low Water,” 6/30). Mr. Harkey references the repaving of streets north of Route 9. Yes, they were, just as yours were repaved, and waterlines replaced. Were you charged for that?

These are mostly man-made lagoons by developers. Shore properties have always been and will remain victims of silt. I don’t care if you live on a river – moving waters move silt.
