Remember not to long ago the increases to your water bill? Well that was apparently only for reclamation/sewer. They are proposing another increase to water (Document).
Some would ask why this wasn’t just done all at the same time? IMO – because they want to jack up rates in baby steps. It’s time for citizens to start questioning these massive rate increases during a time when COLA for most people doesn’t even exist. Need to fix current infrastructure? Pull it out of the general fund. Stop increasing rates. The city has plenty of revenue to keep up with infrastructure, they just need to change spending priorities like the rest of us have during a down economy.
