Follow on Google News | CEWR Successfully Negotiates Interim Water Rate with CLWSCOn Feb 25th, CEWR was successful in reaching a negotiated agreement with CLWSC for an interim water rate of 38% while awaiting the TCEQ's final judgment on CLWSC's request for a cumulative 71% water rate increase.
By: The Coalition for Equitable Water Rates On August 27th, 2010, CLWSC filed a request with the TCEQ for a 71% water rate increase to be implemented using a “two tiered” approach: an initial 38% rate increase going into effect in October of 2010 (during the period of lowest customer water consumption) CEWR has filed legal challenges to the amount of CLWSC’s proposed increase and continues to attempt to negotiate a more equitable rate for CLWSC’s customers. CEWR plans to focus on fundraising, gathering documentation, and digging into CLWSC’s books over the next few months to strengthen its case. Two public forums have been scheduled by CEWR for next month on March 16th and 17th to update CLWSC ratepayers on the status of the challenge and provide them with the latest information. (For CEWR’s Public Forum schedule information please go to www.cewr.net) # # # The Coalition for Equitable Water Rates (CEWR) is a non-profit organization of local residents representing residential and business interests to insure that fair and competitive water rates are provided by the Canyon Lake Water Service Company.
