Please describe your comment briefly:
We are quite concerned with the request for this obsorbident rate hike. What type of
business can over night demand 119 plus% rate increase, expect to get it, and stay in
business? We feel that even a 20% hike is over board. Most wages only go up with the coast
of living increase (4- 5%) and most wages are being frozen right now. The elderly couple to
the south of us have already stopped watering their back yard, (which they enjoyed gazing over
from their patio) and they are cutting way back on watering in the front. We have lived here
four years now. The deal is, we should not be punished for their negligence to opporating
their water company for so many years. What is next? Will he try to attach this water system
to their BIG NEW HOUSING DEVELOPMENT to the north of us? If so our water pressure will
fluctuate even more then it already does, and possibly cause all of our new sprinkler systems
to be obsolete? This rate hike is to absurd to even be considered, especially during this
economic down turn. We feel this is totally unfare and bording on extortion. Our business
has slowed, the neighbor to the north has been layed off, the elderly couple to the south are
on a fixed income, the neighbor across the street has lost his job and has to commute to
Wisconsin for employment. We are all hard working people and take great pride in keeping a
nice home. This will not be possible if these astronomical rate hikes are permitted. Thank
you for your time in considering this most taxing issue. Respectfully yours, David and Marla
Forsythe
