Name <br /> Address ! 7o~~~t~ <br /> <br /> May 7, 2010 Coq <br /> ~C,z 70~ <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 <br /> Ana, to the proposed water and sewer rate increases. The reasons for the rate <br /> increases -"to recover the City's actual increased costs in providing the water and sewer <br /> services, including repair, maintenance, and replacement of the water and sewer <br /> infrastructure"- are erroneous and are not supported by the current financial data <br /> available. <br /> It is important to mention that these increases do not help businesses' expansion, and <br /> therefore perpetuate a slowdown of the local economy. As you may already know, the <br /> residents of Santa Ana have been severely hurt by the financial crisis and current <br /> recession. Many residents have either lost their jobs or have taken pay cuts. Our <br /> community is conserving water and evidence exists that our water usage has been <br /> reduced for the benefit of the general public. On behalf of our community, I urge that the <br /> City Council reject the proposal to increase the rates which are neither necessary nor <br /> prudent. Thank you. <br /> Regards, <br /> 75B-29 <br /> <br />
