Richmond gas works has a backlog of over 900 leaks throughout its service area with a projected $750,000,000 repair and replacement cost. There are also many issues and needed improvements with the city’s water, sewage, and stormwater systems.
We need effective oversight and input on utility decisions that impact our wallet, our health, and our communities. Ask Richmond City Council to support establishing a Public Utility and Service Commission with citizen membership requiring public meetings and ensuring public participation.
Send your email today to Richmond City Council to support more transparency and accountability of our public utilities.
