The New Mexico Independent: Use a lot of water? Your bill is about to go up

  • mjensen · 1 year ago
    At their August 7th meeting, some members of the Customer Advisory Committee (CAC) of the ABCWUA asked WUA representatives about raising rates to deal with customers - like WUA member Tim Cummins - who use exorbitant amounts of water. The answer from the WUA was that they couldn't raise rates because they aren't allowed to make a profit. Which is fine, it's a statutory issue - but it isn't as though there is a lack of projects that could be funded by increased revenues. So attempting to be "revenue nuetral" still needs to be addressed.
