IF YOU pay attention to any of the other news media in these parts, you’re well aware of the shockingly high water bills some Monterey Peninsula residents have gotten. This week we report about a Monterey man who recently received a bill for the astonishing amount of $24,000. Those other news media routinely and sensationally attribute the high bills to either greed or incompetence on the part of Cal Am — an anti-corporate position which has become the fallback for anybody who doesn’t want to be both- ered to actually think about an issue. The truth is a bit more complicated, and presents some very interesting public policy issues which this community needs to face. Yes, the bills are shocking. And, yes, the people who get them always insist they couldn’t have possibly used that much water, so their meter must be wrong, or Cal Am is lying, or something. But the truth is that a broken or leaking pipe can leak an astonishing amount of water, and that if the leak is underground, the water can just disappear into the water table without anybody noticing — until their water bill comes. In the old days, water was very cheap, so even a major leak only resulted in a bill a few hundred dollars higher than normal. In many communities, in fact, water was so cheap, it wasn’t even metered. Here in the Monterey Peninsula, for decades the price was less than two- tenths of a cent per gallon, no matter how much you used. But those days are long gone. Ever since our water shortage was “discovered” (a better word would be, “imposed”) back in the 1980s, and then amped up in 1995 when the State of California ordered us to stop taking most of our water from the Carmel River, prices have been regularly increased, not only to pay for all the improvements our water system needed (and still needs), but to pay for a whole lot of government to regulate it, along with dozens of environmental programs to offset its damage to plants and animals that live in the Carmel River, “We tried to tell him. Never check your mail on a weekend.” where most of our water comes from. Thus, the old price of two-tenths of a cent per gallon has been replaced by a commended and also questioned by fellow officers that attributed his “knack” for such complicated schedule of fees and surcharges, which you may already be familiar Letters skill to just that, “having a knack,” but the with, if you’ve taken the time to decode your water bill. stories that I have encountered on my daily The prices have also been steeply “tiered,” so that the more water you use, the to the Editor walk about in Carmel tell a different tale, more you pay.
