David Wright, Director <br /> Riverside Public Utilities <br /> Members, Riverside Public Utilities Commission <br /> Re: Public Hearing on Proposed Water Rate Increase <br /> March 2, 2006 <br /> Dear Dave and Commission Members: <br /> The Riverside Unified School District (District) is in receipt of a Notice regarding: <br /> proposed: water rate increases to be imposed by the City of Riverside (City). The <br /> District desires to provide written comments relative to the City's proposed <br /> action. <br /> 1. The District is one of the City's largest water customers. The District's <br /> schools serve over 43,000 students in kindergarten and grades 1 <br /> through 12. In addition, more than 12,000 adults enroll in Adult <br /> Education classes. The District is one of the region's largest <br /> employers, employing approximately 5,200 full and part-time <br /> employees. <br /> 2. Based on current consumption levels, the proposed rate increase of <br /> roughly 20% per year for each of the next three years would amount to <br /> a rough increase of $225,000 over this period of time. Furthermore, <br /> the District is currently constructing or in design on two additional <br /> elementary schools that will open in this timeframe and' would be <br /> served by the City. <br />
