Hi Jean,Please submit the following comments regarding the case
below I’d like them to be part of the public record on this
case.
Dear Commison
I am subm a second comment on Kincaid’s (Fox Creek Water
and Sewer’s)rate increase announced Yesterday,/3Q/l3 The
increase is substantial and I believe NOT based on data
regarding oPerating costs.It is clear that oPerating costs of
the well have been covered in the last year or So,and i demand
that the coission ask for detailed data showing the claimed
oPerating cost of the well.I strongly suspect Kincaid as
usual,is increasing the rate as retribution for water users
bringing up the fact that he plans to Use our well in capacities
not in standing with those stated in the water right.y Kincaid
has proved vindictive when challenged on any of his action,as
is now also the case with his tricking the county into changing
his tax rate on Our open space.The City of Victor recently
raised it’s rates as seen in the Valley Citizen this month,and
clearly Mr.Kincaid is arbitrarily basing his new rates on
Victor’s new Publicized rates.New rates must be tied to actual
costs.
In addition,Please inquire to Mr.Kincaid directly if he plans
to use the water commercially in the future and ask him to sign
a document stating his intentions on that topic.
My recommendation to Fox Creek Water and Sewer is to turn the
system over to the residents of the homes,as they alone will
have the best interests in mind for water usage and charges.The
fact that Kincaid refuses to do SO indicates his desire to
I
expand the use of the well to commercial and agricultural use -
to uses explicitly prohibited -in our current water agreement.
Please contact me with questions,
