Coalition Letter: SB 222 – Water Rate Assistance Program Apr 7, 2021 Comment Letters To: Honorable Ben Hueso, Chair, Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Communications Subject: SB 222 (Dodd) – Water Rate Assistance Program Letter excerpt: The undersigned organizations respectfully write to express our oppose-unless amended position on SB 222, a bill that would create a water affordability program.
