Is anyone else out there angered by Cal Am Water once again going to the CPUC for water rate increases?

If I am reading their website correctly, they are asking increases of 51% for 2010 and 10% for 2011.  Outrageous.  The only reason I can figure that they continue to ask for, and are approved, these rate increases is that WE don't say NO.  I also think they will continue to do this until we do say NO MORE. 

The question is do we say no now or wait and say no after we are paying much more for water. 

There are two community meetings scheduled to discuss this issue.  They are:

TODAY - March 30 @ 7 PM - Isleton Community Center, 210 Jackson Blvd., Isleton AND

April 8 @ 7 PM - Florin Community History Center, 7245 Fletcher Farm Dr., Sacramento  95828

I used 60,000 gallons from July to Sept.  I had the meter man to see that I had no leaks.

For me it's just as expensive or cheaper to fertilize the lawn several times a year and reduce the sprinkler times a day or two a week.  It's a win-win.  Reduce water used and I should have a greener lawn.
