This is just dumb! Let’s call dumb, dumb. The Water Authority advertises, I assume they pay money for that, and promotes “conserving water”. Albuquerque residents have done a great job doing that! Water usage has dropped 9 percent in the last year in the drought stricken City. Good job residents right? Yes! So what does the Water Utility do? They want a 5% rate increase! They say they need the increase to offset the drop in usage! Duh! It’s obvious that the Water Utility has planned very poorly, and now sticks it to us when we do what they asked of us. What ever happened to being awarded for good performance?
As I say let’s call dumb, dumb!
The tax payers pay their salaries and they have no plan except for rate increases, to make up for their lack of a future plan.
Residents did what asked, and the Water Utility should reward Residents, not punish
