FPUD and RMWD: Consider this

As for the proposed FPUD and RMWD merger I would offer:

• Both FPUD and RMWD purchase all of their potable water from the SDCWA and MWD

• FPUD cannot promise lower rates as they have no control over 80 percent of their costs

• RMWD labor costs are up only $14k from 2014

• Union benefit rates for RMWD will jump from about 10 percent to about 20 percent, as required by union agreement, due to the increased employee count when combined with FPUD (about $220k)

• RMWD has agriculture water sales of about 63 percent, FPUD has very little

• RMWD has a great income...
