Public Comment for TA168-126 by Galin, Jonathan

It is hard to fathom that the RCA would grant AWWU yet another rate increase in 2021 for Water and Sewer charges.
 I took a look at my year end statements(which I've archived since 2002)for AWWU's Total Annual charges for my residence and I've experienced a rate increase in my AWWU Water & Sewer charges in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020! 
 
Given the very serious economic situation, loss of jobs, including the horrific difficulties with Covid in Anchorage, and the Muni which sadly offers no sign of abating in the eminent future, that the RCA would burden our citizens with yet another rate increase. 
How is it that AWWU (a utility monopoly) has an unbridled disregard for their customers? 
At this stage, it's past time that AWWU should FREEZEs labor and benefit expenses increases, INCLUDING General & Administrative expenses!
The Management appears to have no strategic control planning for Capital Costs 
as well.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Galin
