This virtual meeting is part of the Groveland Community Services District’s Water and Sewer Rate Study process. The goal is to share why rate adjustments are being considered, explain how proposed changes were developed, and gather community input. It’s an opportunity for residents to get more information, ask questions, and learn how the study will help ensure fair and sustainable water and sewer service for the community. View the agenda below and don't forget to RSVP. The meeting link will be emailed and posted to the project main page on the day of the meeting.
