Prior to tonight’s regular meeting of the Joshua Basin Water District Board, Directors will convene a 4 p.m. joint session with the Citizen’s Advisory Committee to review a water rate increase study. That study recommends an approximate 8 percent increase to go into effect the first of the year. Then at 7 p.m., directors are expected to award an agreement for operation and maintenance of the new Hi-Desert Medical Center Wastewater Treatment Plant to Water Quality Specialists of Escondido. The plant is humming along as expected in an operational proving period. Also tonight, the District will acknowledge Production Supervisor Randy Little on the anniversary of his 25th year with the District. Little oversees the department in charge of water quality. It all happens at District offices on Chollita Road in Joshua Tree.
