A drought reduced consumption for Charlotte's water utility. So they raised rates to make up for lost revenue.
"We know conservation and these mandatory restrictions are still very important so we want to encourage that long-term conservation,” said Erin Culbert with CMU. “But in the short term we need to do something to recoup this revenue that we've lost."
I am all for consuming less if it is to save the planet so as to speak, however to have to pay more for this contribution of doing my bit, has me thinking twice.
