With water bills seeing an increase in the near future, many Marin residents have been left with unanswered questions.
"It's peaceful, it's nature," she said.
A few years ago, she and her family ripped out the grass and fruit trees in their backyard and put in drought-tolerant plants, in an effort to conserve both water and cash. Like many people, she says she used less water during the drought. "Unfortunately, we do need to increase our costs. The district is losing about a million dollars a month right now due to inflationary pressures and reduced revenues due to the drought and lower consumption that we're continuing to still see," Mertens said."We're hoping that as a result of this, that in future rate proposal years, increases will be less impactful."
During the meeting where the Board of Directors approved the rate hikes, while there were residents who showed up to oppose the plan, there were other residents showed up to voice support for the plan - arguing it's important for Marin Water to make necessary improvements to the outdated infrastructure.
