Taos Council eyeing water and sewer rate hikes
Taos Town Manager Carlos Miranda says four years without increases have left budgets short. The council will consider raising water from 1.85 to 2.86 per thousand gallons and sewer from 5 to 9 per month, with the base water charge unchanged. He notes EPA grants require sewer rate hikes and 80 percent cost sharing for pipe replacements, and cites Santa Fe and Questa as nearby comparisons. Water remains presented as a good deal despite higher charges.
