Water Rates - Seems to me that 30% increase is still far too much. Balance it out 20% in 2024, then see how the fund is doing mid year and look at what is truly needed in 2025 and beyond.

Also how about the council put the 10.5 million targeted for skatepark and century house into the water enterprise fund. Yes they can actually do this. Do away with pet projects of Testa, Arkin and Brown. Nibert just voted to go along with those three as a follower on the fiscally irresponsible projects.

This massive increase in water prices is unacceptable and shows mismanagement of our water resources. It's time to consider replacing the management of our water system and find a team that finds ways to keep increases in water rates to a minimum by driving unnecessary expenses out of the water department and providing the city with reasonable increases in rates that maintain the reserve account purchasing power. Clearly a failure in management.
