Last time someone retained by Highlands tried to personally attack the residents of Melancthon and Mulmur it didn't divide and conquor the community nor help Highlands cause.
Here are a couple of examples of misguided Highlands high handedness: trying to buy a debt of someone who refused to sell out and the little YMCA fiasco. Neither worked in favour of Highlands.

It might be a little out of your comfort zone, but maybe try a new approach based on honestly and integrity, it is working wonders for NDACT.
The real reason they are going for the technology to reinject the water into the groundwater instead of sourcewater is that MNR, where mining applications are considered is only concerned about the QUANTITY of water being consumed, so this way Highlands/BAupost can say most of it will be returned. Sure as hell hope someone at the province is interested about QUALITY.
