    The Lompico County Water District will be holding a Public Hearing to discuss the proposed rate increase. These hearings are a mere formality. Nothing discussed will change the minds of the Board of Directors. The only avenue available to those in opposition to the rate increase is to send a letter, directly to the Lompico County Water District office, stating your opposition to the rate increase. If 255 letters are received representing a majority of the meter holders, (simply being a voter is not enough) in opposition to the rate increase it will be blocked. Otherwise, the Board of Directors will pass the rate increase with a simple majority vote.
