Denver Water will likely continue to punish reward conservation efforts by hiking rates, according to the Denver Post [September 14, 2005, "Water savings may come with an extra cost"]. They write, "Today, the utility's board will consider raising rates by about 8 percent and tweaking the rate structure so large water users pay more. The move could lead to an average annual increase of $20 for Denver residents and $30 for suburban customers. Utility officials say that's the best strategy to make up for the dwindling water sales and escalating operating costs."
