Dear Aimee
I have been reading about the proposed fee increases for water, but was not clear on its
effect on our bill. I just received your Overview and the breakdown of actual costs. I
applied your new rates to my calendar year 2019 bills. Our 2019 bill would have
increased by 42% over the old rates. Don't you think that is a bit much? We like many
others are retired and on a fixed income. I wish my retirement would go up 42%, but
even I realize that would be a bit much.
Sincerely,
Dennis Menghini
