STOP EID RATE INCREASE SCHEDULED FOR FEB 4 2010 (eva_ware1953 01/15/10 2:18pm)
EID has proposed a rate increase of 35 percent in 2010, followed by increases of 15 percent in 2011 and 5 percent in each year from 2012 through 2014 — a cumulative increase of 85 percent. Based on an average water bill of $150 for two months of service, the 35–percent increase would result in a $52 increase per billing cycle for the first year, eventually resulting in an annual increase of more than $312.
A 51 percent protest response from rate payers is required to stop the increase. Customers can send in a letter of protest to the EID office, which must include their parcel number, or they can attend one of two upcoming public meetings to protest the proposed increase.
Next Public Workshop in Pollock Pines
When: 6-8 p.m., Monday, Jan. 18
Where: Pollock Pines Community Center, 2675 Sanders Drive
EID BOARD MEETING
What: EID public hearing
When: 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 4
Where: El Dorado County Board of Supervisors meeting room, 330 Fair Lane, Building A, Placerville

I like many others in this community am on a fixed income. This proposed rate hike would be very difficult for me. It would come down to paying for water and sewage and not buy much food. I strongly oppose this much of a hike in rates and hope the EID board will reconsider a different way of coming up with the money they need other than putting it always on the ratepayers backs. Enough is enough. (godsch1ld 02/02/10 8:33pm) REPLY
