San Diego City Council to revisit water rate hike this week
The San Diego City Council will be returning to the topic of hiking water rates, just a few weeks after dropping the topic in the face of public backlash and reluctance to raise rates yet again. … The item will return this week at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28. … “The main driver of the water rate increase is higher costs to purchase water from the San Diego County Water Authority, which are passed on to the city’s customers,” a statement from the city read. … Other reasons for the proposed hike include increasing costs of maintenance, rising energy rates, Pure Water Phase 1 operations and more.
