Sanitary District Rate Hikes

Homeowners in the Oro Loma Sanitary District recently received a notice regarding proposed rate increases for the next five years. The District is planning on raising rates over 15% each year for the next five years. We were told we could attend a 'public hearing' on May 21, 2024 if we had any concerns. However, instead of actually having a public hearing, the District wants to have a Zoom meeting. The District should meet with us IN PERSON, at a public location, for an actual public hearing. The District could state their case to us in person, and we could voice our concerns about this rate increase.
