The City of Dos Palos is publishing this notice to inform all refuse (green waste and recycling waste) customers and/or property owners of the proposed rate changes, which will also include a new rate for street sweeping services.

The proposed refuse rates will ensure that the utilities collect sufficient revenue to cover fixed expenses, fund capital improvements, and improve refuse operations to maintain reliable' service in future years.
Rate increases are designed to be spread over the next five years and gradually increase as costs are pro:3ectedto increase over time.
