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.
