TUCSON (KVOA) - If you live outside Tucson city limits, you may see a significant increase on your water bill.
Tucson mayor and council are currently set to discuss upping water rates for unincorporated Pima County residents next Tuesday.
Rates for these customers could go up as much as 50 percent.
Right now, the cost of service for water is set on a block rate structure, meaning the more you use, the more you pay per unit of water.
All options under consideration would increase the rate. Most everybody in the county is not happy about it, plus the uncertainty of what are we dealing with? said Mark Taylor, Chair of Citizens Water Advisory Committee. Are we dealing with a five percent increase or a fifty percent increase.
