November 2020 Election: FSLVW Questions for Candidates

Ratepayer Assistance Program

The State of California has recognized safe and affordable water as a fundamental human right, but it has not yet provided any funding to help impoverished ratepayers cope with increasing water rates. A District-funded Ratepayer Assistance Program (RAP) is an immediate way to address the needs of low-income ratepayers.

Do you support the District’s newly implemented, pilot RAP plan, and what specific next steps would you support or oppose?
