Questions
You may have noticed a shift in timing for this year’s annual meeting and our municipal wastewater charge notifications. We’re always aiming to improve our processes. This shift in timing will better position us to provide you with clearer usage data and charge information. Preliminary 2027 MWC and supporting calculations were sent to communities on June 3. If you have questions or concerns about this shift in timing, please reach out (contact info below).
For MWC questions, please contact Emma de Villa.
