Subject: [EXTERNAL] Water and Sewer charges
Dear Council Members,
The sewer charges your proposing are 103% increase over the next 7 years and the water increases are 56%. How can
you possibly think that this is reasonable. These increases are far above the rate of inflation.
I doubt that local voters will receive wage increases to match and those of us on fixed incomes will be hurt substantially.
You better come up with a different plan that is more reasonable. Example: stop increasing the number of subdivisions
and the footprint of sewer service to out lying areas.
Sincerely,
Howard Carlburg
