Regarding the Marin Municipal Water District’s recently issued “Proposed Water Service Rates, Fees and Charges,” it’s time for ratepayers to rise up and say “enough is enough.”
Last year a new watershed management fee was added to our bills. This year new increased water rates based on meter size (why not water use?) and fixed charges are both increasing by 4 percent a year, compounded!
Additionally, a new capital maintenance fee running hundreds to thousands of dollars a year is being proposed. Where does this end?
We seniors, living on fixed incomes, cannot continue to absorb these increases without being driven out of our homes. Why not an exemption for seniors?
Given MMWD’s outrageously high salaries, benefits and pensions, I would suggest that a Marin County Civil Grand Jury investigation of the management and operations of MMWD is not out of order.
