TUCSON, Ariz. — At their regularly scheduled council meeting, The Tucson City Council and Mayor Regina Romero started a process for public input on raising fees, but are also considering some fees at a later date.The Water Department is proposing to raise their surcharge from 70 cents to one dollar.
“We moved to this town because of what it offers and everything like that and because of the pricing, so the fact that they’re raising it, it’s like why? Nothing’s changed,” Tucson resident Ashley Zirkle said. They will also be getting input from residents about increased fees for environmental services at the same meeting.However, one Tucsonan said raising the fees won’t make a difference.
