Follow on Google News | Petition Drive Underway for Hill Country BusinessesA petition drive has been established for Hill Country businesses affected by Canyon Lake Water Service Company's proposed 71% water rate increase.
By: CEWR Dear Hill Country Business Owner: August 27th Canyon Lake Water Service Company (CLWSC) filed to substantially increase your water rates by 71%. This followed an 11% increase in 2009. This will occur in two phases – a 38% increase effective October 27, 2010 and another 33% increase effective March 15, 2011 for a total increase of 71% above your current rates. A petition drive is underway to challenge the magnitude of CLWSC rate increases (especially during such a recessionary period). We would like to invite you to be a part of this Coalition For Equitable Water rates (CEWR) petition drive. The State of Texas requires over 10% of users to petition in order for there to be any consideration given to lower water rates. We believe we can be most effective if all of the concerned businesses & residents are part of one large coalition. In so doing we will have a single, strong spokesperson to represent all of us. If you would like to petition these large rate increases, please fill out the form at the bottom of this letter and return it to: Coalition for Equitable Water Rates (CEWR) Attn: Belle Guice - Treasurer 1198 Long Meadow Spring Branch, TX 78070 We will keep you informed about the hearing dates and progress via e-mail and regular meetings of the affected businesses and residents. If you would also be open to making a contribution to help cover the expenses associated with these hearings and negotiations, it would be most appreciated. Checks should be made out to the “Coalition for Equitable Water Rates.” Thank you for your support, Dave Schumaker, - dschu@gvtc.com Steering Committee Coordinator, CEWR ------------------------------------------------------------ My name is _____________________________ Business Name is ______________________________ Address ____________________________________________________________ E-mail: ______________________________________ Phone No. _______________________________ I am a rate payer of Canyon Lake Water Service Company and I wish to petition against the proposed water rate increases by Canyon Lake Water Service Corp (CCN 10692).
