On Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at 6:30 p.m., Crescenta Valley Water District will hold a Public Hearing on a proposed water rate increase for 2012. This hearing will be held at the District office, 2700 Foothill Blvd., La Crescenta.
At the hearing, staff will present information regarding a rate increase that is based on using water rates to fund capital improvement projects to improve the water system as well as for operation and maintenance costs.
The District is also considering financing a portion of the capital improvements through the sale of bonds. If the Board decides to use bonds to fund capital improvements, the water rate increases may be less than those shown in the Proposition 218 Notice that was mailed to all CVWD customers on Monday, September 12, 2011.
Any CVWD customer or property owner may file a written protest of the proposed rate changes by sending a letter to CVWD, 2700 Foothill Boulevard, La Crescenta, CA,
91214. A valid protest letter must be received at the main office by Monday, October 31, 2011 at 4:00PM, and must include your name, your CVWD service address, a statement of protest and an original signature.
Protest letters will be tabulated and presented to the Board of Directors at the public hearing to be held on Tuesday, November 1, 2011, at 6:30 p.m. at the CVWD main office. Any CVWD customer or property owner may appear at this public hearing.
