To the Editor
The following is a letter I sent to the Shoreline Water District Board of Commissioners:
I was rather surprised to find that my 6/15/2012 bill from the Shoreline Water District reflected a whopping 25% increase over the same usage earlier in the year. I read the enclosed note that accompanied the bill, but it hardly explained the 25% increase.
I then went to the Shoreline Water District website to find a more detailed rationale for such a large increase. I reviewed the minutes from your board meetings leading up to the board action authorizing the rate increase. Again there was not a reasonable explanation for a 25% residential rate increase.
I think you owe a thorough explanation to your customers. I'm not necessarily saying that a 25% increase is not justified - you just need to clearly tell me why.
