Dear Evergreen Water and Sewer District Customer,

Unfortunately, we had an issue with our bills – they were printed a week early which posted last month and this month both under charges on your bill. Normally when the bills are processed it’s after the 25th of the month (the due date), so any amount owed is moved over into past due and the current amount is placed under charges for the current bill. We are very sorry for this inconvenience, please feel free to come in and get a print out of your account or call us for your current amount.

The group will provide feedback to the District Staff and Board about issues and alternatives identified in the Wastewater Treatment Alternatives Preliminary Engineering Report (“PER”) being prepared by Jacobs Engineering and its subcontractors. Meetings of the Advisory Group will be conducted in compliance with State and District Open Meeting Act requirements. Any comments or recommendations of the Advisory Group will be public information and are non-binding on the District. In addition to input from the Advisory Committee, the District will also be seeking comments from the public, including the District’s customers, and other stakeholders in compliance with state law, regulation, and the terms of various grant agreements providing funds for the Wastewater Treatment Alternatives PER.”
