CL1The 2014-15 Santa Barbara County Grand Jury (Jury) finds that the allegations were incorrect. The Jury believes the confusion arose because of the way water charges were presented on the customers' bills. This problem was alleviated by a modified, improved bill that the District now uses, which differentiates residential and agricultural charges. During a prolonged drought we are reminded of how precious a reliable water supply is to our way of life. The Jury commends community members who get involved with community actions that are proposed by our elected officials, such as the enactment of Ordinances 92 and 93 by the Montecito Water District. Under California Penal Code Section 933.05 this report does not require a response.
