I had a little rant about my water bill and am currently concerned/interested in the conversation about Camp Long’s future plans. In each case I advocated a letter to the Seattle City Council and thought I would share their contact information in case someone else had similar concerns or feel there is a need to have their voice heard in local government. For best results, send each member a letter or e-mail separately. Apparently, bulk mailings (e-mail or on paper) to all the members at the same time gets filtered into a junk mail file by their server and dropped in the paper recycler when it comes in via snail-mail.

Hello –
If you didn’t already call or write Councilmember O’Brien’s office about your water bill concern, please call or e-mail me on Monday and I will be happy to assist you. I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks!
SH
The fact that you replied to this post is AWESOME! Thank you. I sent you a note this afternoon. I really hope this charge/tax/rebate/etc will not be carried over past the planned expiration date with a new name /reason attached. The residents of Seattle already pay more per CCF of water than residents of Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ and I see no reason to mine our water bills for additional funds.
Thank you again!
Matt
