Not only that, they plan on boosting their water fees to astronomical numbers that rival the Bay Area. The increases in water will be something near 50-60% over the next three years, including the 33% they have done over the past 5 years. Your water bill has doubled in about eight years. This is in a county and city where we actually have water.

Why not just add extra fees to those who use an abundance of water? Set a standard and I bet that water usage would go down.

Arcata is also adding taxes to the ballots in November for certain services. How do they plan to get these things passed? They are already taxing the hell out of people in Arcata. The city council is aloof.
