Over 4 and 1/2 Hours of CCWD Rate Increase Meeting Video

San Andreas, CA...On Wednesday in an over 5 hour meeting the CCWD Board voted to implement part of the proposed rate increases that had raised the communities ire. In a nutshell they are going to implement the first three years of water increases and the first 2 years of sewer increases and then cap the server rates at $90 for years 4 and 5.

The board however I think weighed the needs of investments in capital improvement projects and the very real financial constraints of their customers.
