Ann Avery Andres <br />7015 JAN 15 PM 4:712467 Riverside Drive <br />Santa Ana, California 92706 <br />CITY CF SANTA A , <br />CLERK OF CCIi_ NI-Ic <br />January 12, 2015 <br />Clerk of the Council <br />Santa Ana City Hall <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, California 92702 <br />Re: Proposed Water Rate Increase <br />I am writing to object to the proposed water rate increase. Using your charts and <br />based on our latest water bill, our water bill will increase in July 2015 by $447.90 per <br />year. The increase in 1916 will be $664.92, in 1917 $742.32 and in 2018 $826.08. These <br />are not insignificant amounts. <br />Further, you state, "In addition to the above proposed changes, the City may pass - <br />through any increases or decreases that impact water costs, including, but not limited <br />to changes in the actual imported water costs, changes in basin pumping percentages, <br />and changes in the groundwater basin replenishment assessment." <br />Since we are in a drought, it should be anticipated that there will be additional <br />increases in the water rate. I suggest that the City not automatically increase its rates <br />now until they actually know what other increases will be imposed and then re- <br />calculate. <br />Your proposed water rate increase will be a financial burden for many Santa Ana <br />citizens. <br />Yours most sincerely, <br />Y <br />A — <br />Ann Avery Andres <br />75A -51 <br />
