Exhibit 3
Notice of Public Hearing
City of Carlsbad and
Carlsbad Municipal Water District
Dear City of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Municipal Water District Utility Customer:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council and Board of Directors will
hold a public hearing regarding proposed increases for water and sewer fees for
properties within the City of Carlsbad and Carlsbad Municipal Water District. This
hearing is to comply with a ruling of the California Supreme Court.
The public hearing will be held on the 9th of September at 6:00 p.m., in the
Council Chambers, City Hall, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, California,
at which time the Council will hear all persons interested in the matter.
Any person interested in objecting to the amount of the proposed increases may
file a signed written protest with the City Clerk, at or before the hour fixed for
the hearing. The written protest must contain the address of service, the rate
change being protested, and the ground or grounds of protest. The protestor may
appear at the hearing and be heard on the matter.
Even with these proposed increases, the City's rates continue to be among the
lowest in the region. Rates are being increased due to rising operating costs,
unfunded State mandates, and the increased cost of water purchased from the
San Diego County Water Authority.
