Arizona AG Fights Water Rate Hikes at Robson Ranch

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is challenging a significant increase in water and sewer rates at Robson Ranch, a retirement community. The Arizona Corporation Commission approved a nearly 23% rise in water rates and a staggering 154% hike in sewer rates. Mayes filed for a rehearing, criticizing the commission for disregarding affordability. The utilities are the only options for residents, who are now facing unexpected bills after a private equity-backed firm bought the utilities and pushed for the increases. Mayes argues that the commission failed to protect ratepayers from monopoly gouging. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
