The Central Coast of California has done a great job conserving water during the drought, and now water users could be asked to pay for it.
California American Water has lost millions in revenue because of conservation, and now it wants to raise rates to make up for the deficit.
At a workshop Thursday Cal Am explained how the new bill could look to unhappy customers in attendance. more

News flash, that happened six months ago in my county.
That happened here in Cleveland a few years ago. They told us to conserve water (whut, we were gonna drain Lake Erie???) so we did and they jacked up the rates a hundred percent to make up the difference!
The dirty, little secret is they hijack the suburbs to create yet another revenue stream for all the free-loading, free shit-grabbing Food-Stamp wielding, Escalade driving, Kool-Aid drinking, government-dependent, entitlement rich, busted-azz, short attention span, uninformed Obamaphone-carrying inner-city parasites who can’t tie their own shoelaces together, buy a belt or process a sound bite over 10 seconds in length that doesn´t rhyme!
What the hell is up with the high whispering these people talk in? This is very annoying!
It’s an issue when the heads of the PUC are all executives for the PU’s. And that’s exactly what happening.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
This happens with every drought, and the rates don’t go back down when usage goes back up.
That’s why new water resources are not brought on line, it would end this gravy train.
It’s just one thing after another, ain’t it.
Wanna cut the company deficit? Start at the top, on the inside. Cut the pay and perks of management, board members, CEO, COO, CFO, etc. For the next 20 years. That will go a long way to reducing the deficit.
Ever notice, the government NEVER tightens their belt…..It’s the peons that have to make up for the lavish perks of those that spend 15 minutes of their day earning an 8 hour check?
Three reasons –
1) The Government doesn’t like competition
2) Competition makes things better and cheaper
3) See number one
Back to Cleveland – There is a west side suburb that is trying to get their bulk water service changed from Cleveland to Avon Lake. The City of Cleveland has tied them up in court for the past few years over it. Cleveland even threatened to charge the residents a hefty surcharge if they left!! This is the totalitarian mentality people are up against with these idiots.
Happens every effing time a drought and conservation comes into play. The sheeple are to effing stupid to figure it out and do something about it such as bring their bodies to the next public service commission meeting.
The libtards do the exact same thing regarding gas sales. People conserve and suddenly the assholes in govt discover a deficit in revenue and decide the best way to make up the difference is to, you guessed it, raise the gas tax.
Not one fucking “conservative” will object to the raising of the fuel tax by insisting that lowing it might bring in more revenue because of the pc police and their globullshit warming mantra.
