Comment: Comment: "We received an email stating that our water utility company has
filed for a rate increase. However, the utility was granted an increase roughly a year ago. The
new letter states they need to upgrade their system, among other things.These issues have
been a problem for CDS Stonerigre water customers for years and were also used to try an
force an increase last year, and nothing has improved with the quality of water.The letter
also states the golf course has drilled its own well, and because of that the utility has lost
revenue. This is again misleading, as the same entity that owns the golf course owns the
water utility. This is a blatant attempt to pass the expense for this on to the customer. I feel
that this will be a continuous issue with CDS Stoneridge utility, as they attempted the same
thing last year, and we can only assume they will continue to try and pass their expenses on
to consumers. I appreciate your attention to this matter. I will be reaching out to other
customers and have them file complaints as well."
Thank You have a nice day.

I appreciate your attention to this matter. I will be reaching out to other customers and have
them file complaints as well. Our water quality and pressure has not improved,we have
had not fire hydrant testing or flushing, our neighbors have recently had their water meter
replace due to rock and sediment almost completely plugging off their water service."
Thank You have a nice day.

Comment: "The proposed rate increase follows an increase last year for all our water rates.
Last year's rate increase was so the utility could make improvements.What improvements
have been done on the water system since last year?The water quality and water pressure
are at very minimal values. Most of us in this community are on fixed income and these rate
increases would be an undue burden to us all."
Respectfully
