Mr. Gioia,
I am in receipt of the current water service bill for July/August in
the amount of&794.81 which is ludicrous, out of line,beyond reason,
discriminatory and exhibits EBMUD'S disdain towards customers,who
through taxes, allow it's very existence.
In comparing our water usage to the same period last year we used
18,700 Gallons less yet our bill roughly doubled. Also compared to the
period of 5/95 to 7/95, our gallonage for period 7/25 to 9/26 rose 36,652
gallons, (+[) 28%,yet our bill rose (+/-) 123%!
You must realize but obviously do not concern yourselves about
increased heat during the summer months in the Walnut Creek, Danville
versus customers west of the Caldecott Tunnel. You are arbitrarily
punishing Diablo Valley residents in a most discriminatory manner which
is unfair! How on earth do you justify such fiscally irresponsible actions in
light of our honest attempts to conserve as exhibited by comparing '94 vs
'95 usage?
I am also incensed over EBMUD's constant verbiage relative to
inadequate water to supply additional development,yet continued
development prevails,highways are continually being landscaped and
watered and the.most glaring abuse allowed, is the three to four miles of
Tassajara Road which is landscaped with lawn and watered accordingly.
There are also the numerous public parks and recreation areas also
watered, and what occurs when homeowners likewise wish green gardens?
Our rates are unjustly doubled beyond reason.
November 8, 1995
