Lompicans should organize. Your water district is a mess and your water board is seeking to merge with an even messier water district.

May 17, 2013
In response to "Lompico Lady's" comments regarding rate increases - the Lompico Water Board have repetitively told the SLVWD Board at the monthly Lompico Liaison Committee meetings, that they will need to dramatically raise your own water rates before possible annexation by SLVWD to cover your district's serious lack of funds to pay for upgrades to your system to meet minimal functionality system requirements comparative to SLVWD's system. If the annexation between Lompico and SLVWD does go through, the new proposed SLVWD water rates will be applicable to you as a new SLVWD customer. BTW, these monthly Lompico merger meetings are open to the public and the next meeting will be held today (5/17) at 2 pm at the SLVWD Operations Building in Boulder Creek - see SLVWD website for meeting agenda). I implore my Lompico neighbors to attend one of these Liaison meetings to hear for themselves from their own Board members of the dramatic rate increases that they will be imposing in your Sept/Oct billing.
