While I understand the need to address aging <br />infrastructure and increased maintenance costs, the propose increases are egregious. I utilized the <br />online rate estimator and determined that as a single -occupant household my rates the first year would <br />increase by over 20% with further increases beyond that! My Santa Ana utility bill is already my largest <br />utility bill and an increase of that magnitude would be crippling. <br />I urge you to reevaluate the proposed rate structure and find creative ways to address the city <br />infrastructure with a measured impact on its residents. In its current form I cannot abide by the <br />proposed changes, and hope that you will recognize that the already tight budgets of the residents of <br />Santa Ana can't afford an increase of this magnitude. <br />Regards, <br />� a <br />Scott Davidson <br />
