Ontario proposing second utility rate increase in a year

The increased cost of importing drinking water has city officials considering a 9 percent spike to the utilities bill for residents.

I find this outrageous. I recently moved from the City of Chino to Ontario. My utility bill has gone from an average of $80 a month to $120 a month even though I use the same amount of water. One would figure that Chino has to import their drinking water as well. Sounds like just another way for politicians to raise taxes without calling it a tax. Perhaps our local piliticians should learn how to spend within their budgets.

B.S.! he city has at least NINE WELLS !!! a couple of which were recently built, one of them is on 8th . st between Baker and Vineyard !!!! where do they come with importing water !!!

Many people have taken advantage of the Ontario Cares Program in which the contractors have stated that the sprinkler NOW must run 4 times in a 24 hour period....yeah I can see my water bill jumping to over $300.00 a month....you can come and take your grass back !!!!!

Just another way they can get money for employee raises like LA did. LA is falling apart, but they got great raises last year. The people who run these water places are not even voted in. The just keep laughing and getting raises.
