Residents in Bakersfield are protesting a proposed sewer rate hike from $239 to $950 annually, a nearly 300% increase.
The city must receive over 53,000 written protests by May 28 to block the increase, which would affect over 165,000 people.
The hike is needed to cover operational and capital costs, but concerns have been raised about the financial strain on residents, especially seniors.
