Proposed water rate hike blocked | Inland News | PE.com | Southern California News | News for Inland Southern California

Proposed water rate hike blocked | Inland News | PE.com | Southern California News | News for Inland Southern California: "City officials say the goal of the proposed rate increase was to bring the rates of the 1,266 households serviced by McCanna in line with what other water users in Perris pay.

A group of homeowners from the Villages of Avalon, the designer home tract that contains most of the impacted households, said the rate increase was too much.

'Not only would this affect individual homeowners in a neighborhood hit hard by foreclosures, this would be adding an extra $200,000 to the homeowner association's budget,' said Marnie Aislin-Kay, who heads the association."

When municipalities are after money, they have the power to sock it to the HOAs. But the reverse isn't true, is it?

Thanks for the mention. This was a huge success for our HOA, and the community is very proud of itself for coming together and blocking a 150% water increase.
