Carlsbad eyes major hikes in water rates

From the North County Times:

As many of you know, conservation rules and rate/service charges increase dramatically July 1 for Carlsbad residents. The City of Carlsbad is proposing these rates due to the increased cost of water and water supply limitations.

If you have not studied the fine print on the “Proposed Utility Rates” brochure mailed with your last water bill, you will be in for quite a shock come July, regardless of how much water you conserve.

The average single-family household can expect to pay 40 percent more for water and sewer even with the new conservation rules. For those of you with larger parcels, the new “tier rate” structure will significantly increase your water bill because it does not take into account property size, only water use.
