Staying the course on Rio Rancho rate plan faces council vote
City Councilor Shelby Smith explains why Rio Rancho should stick to the five year rate increases for water and sewer despite a July 1 hold. He notes aging infrastructure from the 1960s 70s growth and mandates and warns delaying raises will raise costs and hurt bond ratings. The plan aims to replace thousands of leaky lines and fund a failed well and a dilapidated plant with estimated costs of 27 and 13 million dollars respectively. Continuous funding is needed to avoid higher rates and future debt costs.
