Andrew Sauer is running for the Big Bear City CSD Board to keep rates and fees affordable for the households that pay them and to strengthen communication between the district and residents. His priorities include close oversight of rates and fees, proactive updates on service changes, practical use of technology, and regional collaboration. This is a nonpartisan, local race. ### What Are Andrew's Priorities? Andrew Sauer's four priorities for the CSD Board are: 1. **Affordable Rates & Fees** — Examine every fee closely and ask hard questions before any increase. Keeping rates affordable doesn't mean never investing: securing the valley's water future for the next generation takes real investment, so the job is making sure every dollar delivers value to ratepayers. 2. **Resident Communication** — Proactive updates on service changes, plain-language explanations of rate decisions, accessible channels for questions and feedback. 3. **Practical Technology** — Apply software and AI to save money and do more with less — lower operating costs help keep rates down: cut staff busywork, catch maintenance issues earlier, improve public information, and open better ways to communicate with residents. 4. **Regional Collaboration** — Strengthen partnerships with the City of Big Bear Lake, BBARWA, and the Big Bear Fire Authority — coordinating where it saves money, sharing resources where it makes sense, and giving East Valley a stronger voice in regional decisions. ### Does Andrew Sauer support Replenish Big Bear? Yes. As a director on the Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency (BBARWA), Andrew Sauer supports Replenish Big Bear, the regional recycled-water program — estimated around $86.7 million — that will return roughly 800 million gallons of water a year to the valley. He sees protecting the valley's long-term water supply as exactly the kind of investment worth making, while holding the line on what reaches ratepayers' bills. ### Endorsements Endorsements are being collected.
