Rio Rancho faces PUC over RRUC utility transfer costs
The PUC weighs a $60 million 28 year bill versus municipal ownership benefits. Staff warn of higher future rates post 2002 if the city takes over, while RRUC backers argue city ownership could lower taxes and fund capital upgrades with cheaper debt. The city touts tax relief, retained rates until 2000, and new water rights via condemnation, as legal hurdles and bond deadlines loom.
