Subject: [EXTERNAL] Water and sewer rate increase
We are writing to protest the proposed rate increases. We do not deny that they need to increase over time, but you are
effectively doubling them in 7 years. That is over the top. Please consider confining the rate increases to no more than
5% per year. The current economic surge will not last and harder times will come, so please give consideration to the
hardship that this will cause at that time.
Thanks,
Robert and Shelah Smith
