Show Notes
Homeowners in Arizonas Valley cities face skyrocketing water bills due to recent rate hikes, with Phoenix seeing a 13% increase, Queen Creek and Chandler 15%, and Gilbert a staggering 25%. Inflation, aging infrastructure, and dwindling Colorado River supplies are the main culprits. One Gilbert residents bill quadrupled, causing widespread frustration. A dispute among Western states over Colorado River water may lead to court, forcing cities to find expensive new sources. Chandler secured a grant for new wells, but conservation efforts are crucial to prevent further bill increases.
