UW 199-1	4/3/2024 6:09:01 PM		SUNRIVER WATER LLC	Oppose Docket	Web	John	Shoemaker		SUNRIVER	As a resident of the Sunriver community, I appreciate the service that Sunriver Water LLC/Environmental has provided despite the extravagant request for a rate increase that will result in an annual revenue increase of 21.08%, yes that is correct, 21.08%. This request comes 2 years after another rate increase was requested and approved and instituted in May of 2022 that was 21.64% and when combined would result in a total rate increase of 42.72% over the course of approximately 3 years. This will negatively and significantly impact the majority of the Sunriver year around community members/rate payers who I guarantee you have never seen any such increase in their pensions, Social Security checks or retirement accounts that could come close to keeping up with the requested rate increase. As Oregon politicians and bureaucrats make more and more noise about the housing crisis, cost of living for the vulnerable or elderly and numerous other vulnerable populations they seem to forget that they are helping to increase those numbers due to their decisions and programs that add to the inflationary pressures causing much of the problem. For all these reasons and more I strongly oppose any such rate increase at this time. We are currently living in what is considered one of the highest cost housing and cost of living areas in the country. Many year round residents live on fixed incomes and cannot afford to absorb such a drastic increase as proposed especially after suffering the same increase just 2 years ago.
