Received a long letter of explanation about the restructured water rates, effective March 1, just as the desert sun begins to heat the sand. It seems that operational costs have risen, while revenue has declined, perhaps, in part, due to the change-overs to more desert friendly landscaping that requires less water less frequently.
Therefore, thanks to the conservation efforts of the desert's eco-friendly homeowners, our water rates will be increasing significantly, with a hefty penalty for exceeding the allowed amount of water, based on the size of the parcel and the use of the building.
I feel so validated, knowing that all my hard work is not going ... unpunished!

Our rates, too, are skyrocketing. And if there is one thing we have in abundance here it is water.
Bad city planning and a horrible city council making a money grab seem to be our reasons.
We still have wooden water pipes in some areas of the city.
