    I am sure that everyone heard about the city council approving notifications for us all to receive notices of increases in our water bills.

    Oh yeah at the same time the employees of the Metropolitan Water District are looking to get an increase in thier pensions… Also do a little bit of digging to find out bonuses various MWD officials have gotten.

    Good times for all!

    I predict a lot of pensioners will leave this State and head for one with lower taxes, better infrastructure, plentiful water and responsive government. The sunshine dollars only go so far.

    I dont mind the city raising water rates, IF (I know I know only in lala land) they also lowered the set fees they charge.

    In my last water bill, the cost of the actual water was 12% of the bill. The rest was just a bunch of set connection/sewer fees. If they really wanted to increase water savings, triple the cost of water, but cut the fees. Reward the people who are responsible and reduce their need for services/inpact on environment; and let the people who want to flood irrigate their grass or shave while the water runs pay the true cost of doing so.

    But that will never happen, theyll just add more fees for everyone.
