Marin Municipal Water District scraps monthly billing idea
The Marin Municipal Water District has decided against switching from bimonthly to monthly billing cycles as a way to promote water conservation. At a meeting on Thursday, the district’s board decided the nearly $1.2 million in added costs yearly that would result from the change would be better spent on a larger effort to install wireless meters for all of its customers. … The idea to switch to monthly billing is not new, having been proposed and rejected in 2017 because of the costs.
