Didn’t we just buy this water company with our amenity fees? Is it already another developer albatross passed over to us?

NSCUDD had to sell over $200 million worth of bonds to purchase these two system from the Developer. And now, NSCUDD has to pay for what we purchased which does affect our cost to then influence our water rates. I will post my comments made at the Monday meeting for all to read on this site.

However, if you can please attend the meeting this Monday at 3PM in the Seabreeze Rec Center. All residents living in CDD9, 10 and 11 will have their rates raised by a yet to be approved amount. If the current staff proposed rate structure is approved( Years 1-3 - 10% increases annually, Years 4-5 -3% annual increases), your rates will be going up by way over 25%.
