What do my utility rates pay for, and why do these services cost so much? Good question!
Join Bellevue Utilities for a virtual neighborhood gathering to learn more about:

• What is involved in ensuring your safe and reliable drinking water, wastewater, and drainage services
• How your utility rates are invested into the system that supports your services, and
• How Bellevue Utilities is managing costs during this challenging time to minimize rate impacts on customers

Director Nav Otal will share a short presentation, including an overview of the proposed 2021-2022 Utilities budget, followed by a Q&A session with attendees.
When and where:
We will hold two virtual gatherings on Zoom on the following dates and times:

• Wednesday, October 28th, from 12-1pm
• Thursday, October 29th, from 6-7pm

To register, email jguthrie@bellevuewa.gov or call 425-452-5215 with your requested meeting date. You will be provided a Zoom link by email prior to the session.

Donations are needed. Demands on community services and Hopelink have increased and are at record highs while contributions are shrinking. This year and every year, your support to Hopelink and the community is crucial.

The needs of our fellow citizens are greater than ever this Thanksgiving season. Please join me in supporting the annual Somerset food drive on behalf of Hopelink.

Drop your donations off at Somerset Elementary on October 31st from 10am-12pm and visit with Ann, or give us a call and we are happy to come to pick them up! This will be a no-contact event.  Just drive-up and drop-off food or cash donations at Somerset Elementary on 11/21.

All donations will be delivered to the food bank on the day of the event.
