(fC''-P <br /> ~rv1n l~u ~~~7 e ~ <br /> <br /> City Council Members <br /> Santa Ana City Council <br /> Office of the Clerk of the Council <br /> Santa Ana City Hall <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza <br /> Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Dear Council Members, <br /> This letter has been written to express our objection, as residents of the city of Santa Ana, to <br /> the proposed water and sewer rate increases. The reasons for the rate increases -"to recover <br /> the City's actual increased costs in providing the water and sewer services, including repair, <br /> maintenance, and replacement of the water and sewer infrastructure"-are erroneous and are <br /> not supported by the current financial data available. <br /> It is important to mention that these increases do not help businesses' expansion, and therefore <br /> perpetuate a slowdown of the local economy. As you may already know, the residents of Santa <br /> Ana have been severely hurt by the financial crisis and current recession. Many residents have <br /> either lost their jobs or have taken pay cuts. Our community is conserving water and evidence <br /> exists that our water usage has been reduced for the benefit of the general public. On behalf of <br /> our community, I urge that the City Council reject the proposal to increase the rates which are <br /> neither necessary nor prudent. Thank you. <br /> Regards,,-- <br /> r+-, <br /> r~ <br /> e: <br /> 4., <br /> <br />
