Nipomo Community Services District customers will soon receive ballots for proposed supplemental water rates after NCSD directors approved a rate study and authorized a Proposition 218 vote last week.
In addition to approving the study prepared by Tuckfield and Associates, the board authorized the staff to prepare Prop. 218 ballots and scheduled Friday, Nov. 21, for a public hearing on the new rates.
