A proposed water rate increase of about 8 percent per year over the next five years has some customers of the Fallbrook Public Utilities District steaming, but that frustration was noticeably absent during the board’s meeting on Monday, Oct. 23.

Mike Mason Special to the Village News It should be obvious to every new homebuyer that the home they are buying should be inspected so that there are no repair surprises. Homebuyers want to know that their prospective new home has been properly maintained and that there are no hidden issues. No one wants to move into a home with major repair or maintenance surprises. It’s unfortunate though that not all home inspections are perfect and some issues may go unnoticed before t...

It has been almost two years now since Pro-Tire Automotive saved me almost $4,100. I had been told by an auto repair facility that I needed a new engine at the cost of $4,600. I decided to get a second opinion and took it to Pro-Tire. I did not need a new engine, just other repairs costing $400. The truck thinks it's a new one now, and runs like a new one. I will always be grateful to Pro-Tire for their honesty. Honesty pays off. I really enjoy telling other people about Pro-Tire. If you use their services, you won't be...

I am writing in opposition to the outlandish proposed rate hike by Fallbrook Public Utility District. I own 1.27 acres off Camino De Nog. In order to conserve water, I have replaced all of my turf with 6000 sf of artificial turf and put my remaining trees and shrubs on drip systems. We use commercial car washes, and purchase drought tolerant shrubs and ground cover. I feel as if I have done my part to conserve water, yet my current monthly bill seems to be as high as the former bi-monthly bill a few years ago. My reward for a...
I intended to write earlier to provide feedback to the huge water price increases by FPUD, but was so shocked at the proposed increases of from 99 percent to 124 percent over five years, that I needed more time for research. The northern California water reservoirs are completely full from the record setting rainfall last year. It is projected that 2018 may be another year of La Nina weather conditions that bring massive rainfall. The current FPUD water prices have forced more agricultural farmers out of business in 2016/17...
