Water Bill Increases – Coming Soon

In a standard process that occurs every three years, Golden State Water Company has proposed rate increases for 2022 through 2024. If approved, consumers in Region 3–which includes San Dimas– would see an increase of approximately 23.5% to their monthly water bill over the next three years. In this episode, I explain Golden State’s rationale for the rate increases, if the increases seem fair, and what you can do to make your voice heard.

Good morning Isabel,
My name is Neri Denton I have been living in San Dimas for quite a few years. I have never been involved in any activities in the community for any reason ether political or recreational. I am a very privet person. When I got up this morning my husband was listening one of your episodes. The Water increase that will be coming soon. I was very impressed not only by how well you explained the situation on how it will affect us, but also why is happening and the things we can do about it. I told my husband I want to sign up and keep myself informed. I cant not commit to do a lot, but I will like to share this information with my neighbor next door. I thing that will be a good way to start participating and hopefully making some difference.
Thank you for doing what you doing I appreciated very much!
Best regards
Neri.

Isabel,
Thanks for this great rundown on the upcoming water rate increase. As always, I appreciate the amount of research you do to provide accurate and objective information about an issue that is important for our community. As I listened, questions formulated in my head, and by the end of the podcast you had answered them all. Outstanding!

Thanks for listening, Karen! And yes, I try to anticipate the questions that you and other readers might have–as I often times have the same ones. Glad I could answer them. And I’m always open to hearing if there’s something I didn’t address, too. I’m happy to do more research and share what I find because chances are you’re not the only person with those questions/concerns.
