BULLHEAD CITY – The Bullhead City Council has approved municipal intervention in the Bermuda Water company rate case pending before the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) in Phoenix. The city will seek standing in the matter scheduled for formal hearing early next year.
“They have proposed a 24% increase for south Bullhead City residents and those outside the city limits,” city manager Toby Cotter said late last month. He said Bermuda wants to increase monthly bills of average customers from $26.62 to $32.99, an annual increase of more than $76.
“I think it is imperative that the Bullhead City Council and/or city representatives do go to the Corporation Commission when the time is appropriate,” said Mayor Tom Brady. Cotter said the ACC will hear the Bermuda case on Jan. 26.
