At yesterday's GVAC meeting new water rates were also set. To no one's surprise it was increased again. The increase would have been much higher without the majority's support of funding $2 million from reserves.
My argument for postponing the $2 M raise was that we should not continue raising funds for an unknown master water plan. We should have a well defined plan and borrow the money so the costs could be spread over 20 years instead of all being paid for by current customers. We need a plan! We have been fumbling around with ill-defined temporary measures for over 10 years paying the price for the errors! For more info on water rates please see No Free Water.
