CSA 10A water rate increase

Opposed the Cayucos water rate increase, arguing the county is stacking the Prop 218 vote with vacant-lot owners, charging 155% overhead on a pipeline project, and offering no plan to cut costs or debt.

Said residents have asked for the rate study since January without receiving it, and claimed ratepayers were never properly noticed.

Detailed rate comparisons: CSA 10A is $5 million in debt versus zero for the other two Cayucos districts, and her bill would rise to 134% more than neighbors within five years; asked for a town hall and a ratepayer-only Prop 218 vote.

Retired engineer recalled being promised full replacement of asbestos-cement pipe in the 2018 rate increase but says only about 1,000 feet was replaced; 'we were snookered.'
