MMSD Statement 5-13-26
“MMSD is grateful that Common Ground has finally provided the whistleblower letter. It is lengthy and MMSD needs time to review it.
MMSD is two years into a public procurement effort to hire a company to operate and maintain the District’s infrastructure for a 10-year period. It’s a time-consuming effort for everyone involved and it must continue to be a fair process. MMSD cannot publicly comment on these accusations until after the procurement process is completed. A final decision on the next 10-year contract is expected this summer.”
