On behalf of Steamboat Springs Water Works, the Reverend Rebecca Willis attended a hearing conducted by the Committee on Labor & Commerce at the Nevada State Legislature on the afternoon of April 9. Rev. Willis spoke in favor of a pending bill calling for the simplification of the process of applying for a rate increase through the Nevada Public Utilities Commission. The bill would limit the number of forms needed, allow for a simpler process, and expand the basis upon which a company would be allowed to make a profit. (Note: Steamboat Springs Water Works has not been allowed to raise its rates in four years.)
