EPCOR Utilities Inc. is beginning the process of raising water rates in Sun City.
The company is filing a rate case with the Arizona Corporation Commission for all of its water districts, excluding San Tan.
According to a statement from EPCOR officials, the proposal includes three primary components: consolidating smaller systems – Gateway, Sun City, Sun City West and Rio Verde – into the larger Sonoran district, introducing a more gradual approach to adjusting certain costs over time and revising the water usage tiers in Paradise Valley.
