40 YEARS AGO: It was reported that the Tuolumne County Water District No. 2 endorsed rate and fee hikes for water and sewer services. It was estimated that the water rate hike alone could have amounted to 50 percent higher costs for a typical single family home. Then-district manager Les Delbon indicated that 40 cents of the hike could cover district costs over the previous two years and the loss of $112,000 in tax revenues because of Proposition 12.
