Tucson’s Mayor and Council this week voted on an item brought forward by Ward 2 Council Member Paul Cunningham to create differential water rates for Tucson Water customers living in unincorporated Pima County. The 10% differential rate will go into effect on Dec. 1. The average water bill for ratepayers outside of the City is currently $50.28, and that average will increase to $56.45 when the newly adopted rate goes into effect. The new rate structure is expected to bring in nearly $10 million in revenue that will remain in Tucson Water’s budget to be used by the utility to help pay for infrastructure, financial resiliency, climate resiliency, and water sustainability. “As the stewards of our water utility and our water resources, Mayor and Council is responsible to make the best decisions available to be able to preserve the water resources, not just for our residents now, but into the future,” said Tucson Mayor Regina Romero.
