Surcharges For Water Debated 09-16-20A 08:44 S.S.

Some  officials  in  Santa  Cruz  county  have  been  debating  whether  a  number  of  water  customers  (who  live  outside  the  city  of  Santa  Cruz)  should  still  be  charged  surcharges  or  not.       Some  say  that   the  nearly  90  year-old  surcharge  has  ‘outlived  it’s  usefulness’.       Some  35  percent  of  city  water  customers  live  outside  the  city (mostly  in  the  Live Oak,  and  Carbonera  areas)….and  because  of  the  surcharge  they  are  paying  14.5  percent  more  than  their  in-city  counterparts.
