Rate Increase FAQ
How does the Proposition 218 protest process work?
The Proposition 218 voting process differs from the more familiar one in which the outcome is determined by a majority of the yes-or-no votes actually cast. Here, those wishing to oppose the rate increase must submit the Protest Ballot included in the Notice of Prop 218 Hearing mailing. The proposed rate increase will be rejected only if more than 50 percent of the ratepayers submit a protest.
