Grizzly Flats fire victims argue base rate fees are illegal
There’s an uneasy quiet that fills the air as heat rises from the winding asphalt running through the leveled neighborhoods of Grizzly Flats…. [Rick] Hall’s home was among more than 600 destroyed by the Caldor Fire summer of 2021. … With his home wiped out, you can imagine his surprise when he received this bill in the mail for $68.97. That’s the existing monthly base rate charge for water services through the Grizzly Flats Community Services District or GFSCDD. To be specific, this charge is not for water volume, but for a water service connection. That’s where this dispute lies.
