Unofficial results from Felton's Measure W ballot show that the measure has passed with 74.8% voting in support of the measure. This would open up the legal channels for Felton residents to buy back their water utility company from Cal-Am, a German owned company who want to raise water rates by 114% in the next year. A spokesperson for the company dismissed the measure in recent days and said that they will not sell the utility even if the measure does pass.
