SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (KFOX14/CBS4) — Sunland Park City Council has approved a new water and wastewater rate for the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA).
Residential customers can expect to pay about $18 more when the changes take effect on Jan. 1.
CRRUA is increasing water rates by about $5 and wastewater rates by about $12.
The plan was approved by Doña Ana County and the CRRUA board after a study found rates weren’t keeping up with the utility system’s needs.
CRRUA leaders said rapid growth, aging infrastructure, and higher regulatory costs make the increase necessary to maintain reliable service for Sunland Park and Santa Teresa.
RECOMMENDED: Sunland Park and Doña Ana County to maintain control of CRRUA’s dissolution
