UW 203-1 1/2/2025 10:06:55 AM SOUTH COAST WATER COMPANY, LLC Oppose Docket Web CHERYL LUDWIG FLORENCE We received a letter dated Dec 20, 2024 from South Coast Water Company that they intend to file a general rate revision with the PUC. The proposed rate increase is expected to be $99.32 per month beginning Feb 1, 2025, an increase of 63.4% from 2023 revenues and 32.5% over 2024 revenues (data provided by South Coast Water in their letter). 1. The time frame of 6 weeks (Dec 20 - Feb 1) for the public to digest and react to this proposal is not fair. 2. The increase amount is exorbitant for a retirement community. Should this proposal be granted, water may become unaffordable. Additionally, Mr. Puttman noted in our Dunes City Town Hall meeting that he intends for rates to continue to escalate over time. Can the PUC prevent the water company from performing this devastating impact on our small retirement community?

UW 203-3 1/2/2025 12:56:45 PM SOUTH COAST WATER COMPANY, LLC Oppose Docket Web Delia Ralstin FLORENCE This new proposal for a monthly water increase - is not just - Jan 2024 was our most recent increase due to infrastructure and PUC approval that placed all into operation. Now a new company has purchased our water system and plans to make additional increases - why ? to increase profits ? No - No --- please STOP this now - it's getting out of hand without proper representation. Delia & Ron Ralstin 83397 Parkway Drive Florence OR 97439 541 999 7915
