| UW 200-1 | 7/18/2024 8:35:05 AM | AVION WATER COMPANY | Oppose Docket | Web | Maitreya | Sriram | BEND | Hi, I'm in the Avion district and would like to pushback on proposed rate increases for residential users offsetting cost reductions for irrigation customers. Irrigation represents the largest use of both water and waste. Water savings and efficiency measures for irrigation uses should be mandated and enforced before raising rates on residential users. Thank you. | ||
| UW 200-2 | 7/17/2024 4:30:05 PM | AVION WATER COMPANY | General Comment | Web | Joshua | Hancock | BEND | Hello, I received a notice of proposed changes to water service rates from Avion Water Company dated July 11 2014 re: a general rate filing to the Commission dated June 28 2024. In reviewing the proposal, I note that the proposed increases lack any sort of analysis such has % increase, or the amount of revenue generated by each meter size, making it time consuming / impossible for users to understand the proposal and it's effects, and where additional revenue is being generated from. Also, the profit margin of Avion water company is not addressed in the filing. The % rate increases are not uniform across meter sizes, and are proposed to decrease from $4,571.17 per month to $772.56 per month for 4" interruptible large irrigation. Non interruptible irrigation rates are going up the least of any meter rate (only 5%), while small residential and commercial users face rate increases of around 15%. Irrigation is the largest consumer of water by volume, and effective water conservation requires that the largest consumers of water do the most to implement conservation measures. The most effective way to do that, is by increasing water rates for the largest consumers. I reject the decreased rates for 4" interruptible large irrigation, and believe that the largest water consumers should have the greatest increase in rates, while smaller consumers should be subjected to lower rate increases. | ||

| UW 200-4 | 7/24/2024 3:43:30 PM | AVION WATER COMPANY | Oppose Docket | Web | Geneese | Zinsli | BEND | Don't know docket number - Request from AVION Water, Bend, Oregon to increase prices for residential as well as irrigation water usages. Please deny their request as their rates are already high, and Nottingham Square currently pays more monthly for irrigation water than any of the other subdivisions they provide service for. We are lucky to get water two or three times a week and then only for l/2 hour each time. Our lawns are mostly brown or completely dead. At this time Avion receives over $83,000 a year from Nottingham (we pay 12 months and receive water for maybe 5 months) which seems more than adequate for the lack of water we receive. Please deny their request. Consumers are getting blasted with the high cost of everything!!! | ||
| UW 200-5 | 8/16/2024 11:45:20 AM | AVION WATER COMPANY | Oppose Docket | Web | Kelly | Hansen | BEND | Hi, I am writing to oppose the proposed rate increase that Avion Water Company has filed on June 28, 2024. I do not know if the above docket number is correct, but this form could not be submitted without a docket number. The prior water company was Long Butte Water and they sold to Avion this year. I received a notice of the proposed changes on July 11, 2024 and it lists new prices that are a substantial increase. My water bill is already exorbitant and for the residential section, the increases are large. This is too much. I struggle with the bill now. This increase should not be allowed. Thank you. |
