Sunrise water fees may go up: Sunrise water customers may face ...

Get your water from Sunrise? It may soon cost more to water your lawn, not to mention take a shower or run the dishwasher.

[NOT NOW]

What is the emergency? Why can't the projects and bonds - and accompanying rate increases - wait until the economy is turning around? While the city is full of people losing their jobs and trying not to lose their homes, it is imperative that the city stop spending money on projects that can be delayed!

What a screwed up city! Higher water prices and the officers have to buy their own weapons. I am glad that I do not live there!

[Mike Honcho]

Wow, not enough empty homes in your city? How much will the rate hike be when even more people move out of your poorly managed cities?

Local governments down here are a joke, particularly in Broward as of late, think twice next time you vote!

[Steamboat Willie]

What was Sunrise doing with all the money that was flowing into its coffers when times were good and everyone was employed and property values were sky high? Why weren't the city leaders addressing this so-called emergency repair back then? What a crock!

[DJD]

So what have they done with all the money they've been collecting since they put the new pipes in 1972?

Come on Sentinel, get us more data.

[DAS]

Scumrise sucks!!!!
They $crew the citizens every chance they get!!!

[Thunder]

Hey, they can't afford to dig up the median strips and plant bricks, give the politicos raises, and maintain the water system all at the same time.

[Factoid]

It's not the cost of the water, it's all the fees associated with your water bill that is the burden. There is no water shortage, that's BS and propaganda to get us primed for these increases. The government sees water as a cash cow.

and dont forget the retroactive pay raise the commission gave themselves,especially when the mayor and one commissioner is appointed

[New Blood]

What they should do is phase in the increases, they had one last year. You can't wait until an emergency, then hit any residnts for a 40% increase for any service, the residents are getting hit from all sides, taxes, local and state will be our downfall, and wait until the school board and county commission take their pound of flesh, WATCH OUT!!!

the fact of the matter is we are victims of a mugging,picking the pockets of every day working people

[Stymetta]

Looking at what comes out of Sunrise, I don't think raising the rates will help because they smell like they are not aware of soap and water.

Sunrise water fees may go up: Sunrise water customers may face ...

Why do they use the word "may"?

[draining]

gee, good thing the commissioners gave themselves a nice raise before this hit. way to earn the respect of your community. (NOT)

The City of Sunrise citzens have spoken on March 10, the citzens of Sunrise reelected the present city commission,so therefore I believe we should give the commission a chance,they earned their raise retroactive from 2008,there is no doubt that what they do is the wish of the citzens of the city,even yesterday wasnt that smart of the commission to have all that additional firepower,save the citzens the cost of the guns and have the cops pay out of there pockets,they get to keep the firearms after they finish and at a reduced cost to them,during these bad times it is great to know the firearms will be out of there to protect us and it did not cost us one dime,great work commissioners,this is a win,win all around
