Dear Neighbor,
Do you care about Lake Champlain? Do you wonder where the money you pay on your water, sewer, stormwater bill goes? Do you worry about water resources bill rate increases?
Join us on Tuesday, October 29 from 6-8 pm in Contois auditorium for an important conversation about Water Resources rates!
The Water Resources Division is undertaking a comprehensive effort in Fiscal Year 2020 (July 2019 - June 2020) to:
• Conduct enhanced financial planning to ensure that Burlington's Water, Wastewater and Stormwater utilities have the sustainable funding needed to maintain and enhance our high quality level of service through robust operations and continued long-term capital improvements.
• Improve rate and fee structures to mitigate the impact of future rate increases on low-volume residential customers
• Implement affordability programs (customer assistance programs) to assist economically disadvantaged ratepayers (such as a lifeline or discount program)
October 29: Public Meeting and Open House, 6-8 pm @ Contois Auditorium
There will be pizza and refreshments, water saver kits and a very cool door prize!
Brief presentation at 6:15 pm. Open House 6:40 - 8 pm. Water Resources staff will be available before and after the presentation ( during the open house portion) to answer your questions and take your input on this project (as well as all things Water Resources).
We hope you will join us.
