Rate hikes does not help Pleasanton conserve. All resident's <br /> savings go directly into City Water Dept's pockets <br /> • Rate increase is NOT for additional water used (over our baseline of 2020 or 2015) to promote water savings <br /> • Variable Water Rate increase is—300% and across the board for ALL water use. <br /> • It feels like a massive money grab under the guise of conservation <br /> • If you "conserve" down to nothing and use only 1ccf or 10 ccf you STILL pay$0.65 or$6.50 more for the same little water you use. <br /> • All our residents 15% savings of water, that they do not pay Zone 7's (at their 10X rate of $3.61/ccf) appear to be diverted <br /> into Pleasanton Water Dept pockets <br /> • This is being done by shoring up the bill,to have residents"pay the same bill amount" <br /> • Engineered via the 65-300%variable rate drought charge increase <br /> • "No increase"message, but you are forced to"pay the same Bill amount'(this time to Pleasanton),despite not using/getting any of the above fictional water <br /> • We will charge you for the soda and fries(which you do not get-because it is healthy for you). But hey,there was no"increase"in your bill,from not eating the fries and soda. <br /> • Pleasanton's variable water revenue Quadruples to >300% of last year, due to above diversion of revenue, despite of our <br /> "conservation" <br /> Examples for use of 20 ccf(winter) and 40 ccf(summer) <br /> • Pleasanton Fixed Water charge =$19.93 (Fixed Meter) <br /> • Pleasanton Variable Water charges(0 to 20 units) _$0 increases to $13 (> 1300% Increase) <br /> • 0 to 20 ccf=$0+ Drought Rate (20*�" . d,r ccf) <br /> • Pleasanton Variable Water charges(0 to 40 units)_$7.8 increases to $33.8(>300%Increase) <br /> • 21-40 ccf=$7.8+Drought Rate (40* > /ccf) _$7.8+$26 <br />
