There is some questionable math being used for year 1.
I hope to be at the meeting to bring this up but in case I am not: The rates proposed for residential fresh water usage, irrigation base rate, and irrigation usage are all increases of 13% over the current rates and not the 10% that seems to be advertised.
- It appears the 10% increase is being calculated on top of the current 2.5% increase rather than instead of this increase ( the proposal seems to be to increase our rates twice by April 1).
- The tables with the 2022 rates and proposed 2023 rates are in the agenda packet for anyone to check on this.
- The previous calculation used in the January proposal would have been a single increase, not an increase on top of an increase.
