Is anyone else getting annoyed by the constant rate hikes to water?
I just got another letter in the mail notifying me of the proposed rate hikes for 2016-2017:

I know we had a decent El Nino year but as far as I know we are still under a Drought State of Emergency. IRWD increases rates across the board for Low Volume to Inefficient but cuts the rate for Wasteful. What kind of message does that send?
This rate hike is especially annoying on top of the rate hike from last year. I made an effort to conserve and moved from inefficient to low volume. Now IRWD rewards my conservation efforts by raising my rates the most (both percentile basis +9% and nominal +$0.10) and lowering the rate for the most wasteful users.
Low Volume: $1.11 to $1.21
Base Rate: $1.62 to $1.65
Inefficient: $3.92 to $4.01
Wasteful category: dropping the rate from $14.53 to $12.01 WTF?
