December 17, 2009--Summit Ridge switch will save money for water users (Cortez Journal)
In a mail-in ballot election last week, customers of Summit Ridge Water District showed their overwhelming support for combining the district's operations with those of Montezuma Water Co. Total monetary savings resulting from the consolidation will average $140 per customer annually, according to Summit board member Mark Tuttle. Actual customer savings will vary based on water usage. Of the 895 ballots that were sent out to customers, 110 were returned to the district as undeliverable and 276 were completed, Tuttle said. Of the complete ballots, 228 voted for the consolidation and 48 were opposed.
