Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The board discussed proposed rate increases for next year because current projections show both water and electric finances falling short of target without changes. Staff said the water increase would help cover operating and capital costs, while the electric increase would help close a cash gap and support debt service. Members also reviewed plans for future power supply, including solar, gas, batteries, and possible contracts, along with updates to utility efficiency programs and the annual water quality report. The report noted a federal violation related to a missing copy of a lead-and-copper notification letter, although the letters were mailed to customers.
