The Rates Advisory Committee represents a diverse set of interests throughout the community, including low water users, high water users, businesses and neighborhood leaders.
Under the guidance of a nationally-recognized rate consultant, the group is looking at SAWS expenses and how those dollars should be recouped from the various customer classes (residential, business, wholesale).
The documents in this section represent an archive of all agendas, meeting notes, presentations and other "working documents" from the Rates Advisory Committee's meetings since August 2008.
If you have any questions, please contact Lou Lendman at 210-233-3807.
