What if rates aren’t adjusted?
May 26, 2026When your systems aren’t maintained or upgraded, problems don’t stay hidden for long – and they always cost more later. For the average person, that could mean:
- More outages. Aging electric lines are more likely to fail during storms or extreme heat and cold, leaving your home or business without power when you need it most.
- Unsafe water or low water pressure. Old water pipes can corrode or break down, leading to boil water notices and service interruptions.
- Sewer backups and environmental damage. Cracked wastewater lines can cause backups into homes or overflows into local rivers and creeks.
- Longer restoration times. Outdated equipment takes longer to fix, meaning longer waits times when issues arise.
