Dear Mayor and City Council members, <br /> I spoke at the recent hearing of the drought rate hike, but the full impact of the hike on the average consumer was not <br /> evident. <br /> Despite being on the citizen input for city water rates commission, this was never discussed and blindsided me too. <br /> I have no doubt that that the money gathered, under your supervision, will be used wisely. <br /> However but i suspect that engineering a variable revenue windfall for the City Water Dept was not the intent of the <br /> resolution, but it was to encourage people to save water. <br /> Setting individual 15% target vs. previous years use is the right approach, that should be taken. <br /> Their 15% reduction in Zone7 water use and corresponding savings for their hardships, should go to the residents, and <br /> not into the city's pockets (which is what the current resolution does, by "charging them the same amount"when they <br /> conserve by 15%) <br /> After looking through the (attached) analysis and reflecting on it's impact, i feel you too will see it in very <br /> differently. <br /> Regards <br /> Vin <br /> 6 <br />
