San Diego city council approves water rate increase

From La Jolla Light:

The San Diego City Council today approved two water rate increases to cover the higher cost of imported water and to fund a sewage recycling study.

With no discussion, the council voted 5-3 in favor of the rate increases.

Councilmen Kevin Faulconer, Tony Young and Brain Maienschein cast the dissenting votes.

A public hearing on the water rate hikes was held Monday, but a vote was put off until today to give Councilwoman Donna Frye, who had been out sick, a chance to weigh in.

The city council also approved a one-year recycled water test project. More from La Jolla Light by clicking here.
