Letter: Water rates are going up a lot
Since I moved here 20 years ago I have been hearing about the water problems of San Benito County. When I became involved in politics, some local officials explained to me the long-term problem of treating our hard water with salt in our water conditioners. That results in the salty waste making its way into our water basin, only to be pumped up from the ground again from a well in the county. Every cycle adds just a little bit of salt to the mix and someday it will become a problem.
