Privatization was a dirty word to a large group of Emmaus residents who attended Borough Council's first public hearing on the future of the community's water supply.
By their repeated cheers, applause and even a show of hands, an estimated 260 residents in the performing arts pavilion in Emmaus Community Park on Monday made it clear they don't want council selling the water system to a private company.
''They're trying to tell you something,'' resident Mark Kistler told borough officials seated on the stage in the pavilion. ''Pay attention.''
