DWP board backs water rate hike
Water rates may soon be going up, if the Department of Water and Power gets a newly approved increase through the City Council next month Melssa Pamer in the Daily News.
On Tuesday, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners passed a rate uptick that would add about $1.50 to the typical home's monthly water bill, averaged over the course of this fiscal year. In 2012-13, the increase would tack on another $6, depending on how much snow the mountains get this winter.
The increase is desperately needed, department officials said, to fund federally required reservoir projects that can no longer be delayed.
