CAMARILLO : Water District to Hold Budget Forum
The Camrosa Water District, with three directors facing a recall vote this fall, will hold a public hearing on its 1991-92 budget today.
The hearing begins at 10 a.m. at the district office, 7385 Santa Rosa Road, Camarillo.
The Camrosa Water District supplies about 8,400 residential and 200 agricultural customers in eastern Camarillo and the neighboring Santa Rosa Valley.
The district recently has been plagued by controversy over its water rate increases. Customers who mounted the recall vote, to be held Nov. 5, said they were angry about a 38% increase in base water rates last spring.
Customers were also upset by a four-tiered rate structure implemented in May, which socked many of the Santa Rosa Valley’s wealthier homeowners with monthly bills ranging from $300 to $700. The district has since dropped the costliest price tier, which puts Camrosa’s prices in line with surrounding water agencies, a district spokeswoman said.
The district’s regular board meeting will begin at 8 a.m.
