New Rate Structure Proposal Shared at Annual Meeting
At the December 14 annual meeting, there was a presentation and discussion of a new rate structure proposal. Unfortunately, the attendance at the Annual Meeting was low.
Through the below link members who were unable to attend the annual meeting can review a PDF copy of the rate structure presentation. Towards the end are specific examples of how the proposed rate structure would impact a variety of different water users. Overall 50% of the membership will pay LESS under the proposed rate structure and 50% will pay more.
Eastsound Water has also scheduled 4 different meetings in January that specifically address the proposed rate structure. These meetings are all at the Orcas Fire Hall and scheduled as follows
