There was a 22 percent rate increase for the month of July from the Chaparral water company for Fountain Hills, Arizona residents.

However, there are over 40 households in Fountain Hills that have had an increase in their water bills up to 150 percent or even more. When contacting Chaparral Water Company individually to inquire as to the substantial increase, the only explanations you receive are “people use more water in the summer” and “there must be a leak.” It would be impossible for over 40 households to have a leak simultaneously.

Please sign this petition to have EPCOR investigate as to the reason behind the enormous jump in consumers’ water bills as well as the supposed major increase in usage when nothing has changed within the household.

Over 130 citizens have signed this petition already.

To Shawn Bradford, Director of EPCOR:

While we are aware there was a 22 percent rate increase from Chaparral Water Company for the month of July to Fountain Hills, residents there has been a substantially higher increase seen on consumers’ water bills. We would like EPCOR to investigate this substantial increase to Fountain Hills, Arizona customers’ water bills including the unexplained increase in usage.
