Denver Water is going to raise rates to combat their slide in revenue due to conservation, according to the Rocky Mountain News [September 30, 2004 "Denver Water OKs rate hike"]. Nice reward for conservation. From the article, "Metro-area residents will see higher water bills next year as Denver Water struggles to balance its drought-stricken budget. Residential customers inside Denver will see their bimonthly bills rise an average $1.51 next year, while suburban residential customers will see their bills rise an average $4.17, according to the utility. The hike, effective Jan. 1, is designed to raise an extra $12.4 million next year. This year, Denver Water faces a $29 million cash shortfall caused by a drop in water sales because of drought restrictions."
