San Diego County Supervisors vote 4-0 in favor of sewer rate increases for eight unincorporated communities. The 5.75% rate hike will be applied to Alpine, Campo, East Otay Mesa, Julian, Lakeside, Pine Valley, Spring Valley and Winter Gardens.
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted 4-0 Wednesday in favor of a sewer-system rate increase for eight unincorporated communities.
Passed as part of the consent agenda, the 5.75% rate hike will be applied to Alpine, Campo, East Otay Mesa, Julian, Lakeside, Pine Valley, Spring Valley and Winter Gardens.Last month, supervisors heard from members of the public and delayed a planned vote in light of opposition. Several residents questioned whether the proposed increase was fair, and the county also received at least 117 letters in response.
Officials said county Sanitation District fees are reviewed every five years “to ensure customers pay their fair share for the services provided and that funding is available to operate and maintain the system.” Rancho San Diego resident Chris Hazel — who voiced concerns during an earlier public hearing — said via email that he was unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, but would have asked supervisors to consider how the rate increase will impact retired people living on fixed incomes.
