{"product_id":"death-of-a-water-district-leo-d-havener-9781514216422","title":"Death of a Water District: How a badly implemented rate increase pushed one water district to the edge of collapse","description":"This is a book that should be required reading for every board member and general manager of a public utility. It details the true story of a California water district that found it's future compromised by a ballot measure passed by the voters. It forced the water rates back to a level where the district was hemorrhaging money and assured the demise of the district. Like many examples in the storied history of water, this is a narrative of controversy, mismanagement, deceit, heroes, and villains. The book also provides five key lessons that can help avoid unnecessary pitfalls and steer your own district to a better future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leo D.
