Ordinance 918 Passes – Up Goes Your Water Bill

Ordinance 918 passed unanimously, without questions or discussion by the Yelm’s City Council on March 9th.

This will result in a increase of 16% effective April 1st, 2010, a 2nd increase of 16% January 1, 2011 and then 8.25% each January 1st 2012-2015 in the water bills of Yelm residents and businesses.

Are current City of Yelm water customers paying for the commitments city officials made for speculative future developments?
This is a valid question that should be asked.

Watch the Yelm’s City Council approve these water rate increases based on an unapproved Draft Water System Plan online.

“Where is the public’s outrage at this affront to their wallets?
If not now, when?
When the water bill arrives will be too late!”

Where was the Yelm Area Chamber of Commerce? You think they would be interested in this as rate increases of this nature will impact local businesses.
