Guam - The Consolidated Commission on utilties is waiting to hear back from Joint Region Marianas Commander, Rear Admiral Bette Bolivar. The CCU sent a letter last week expressing their concerns regarding the navy’s proposed 40-percent water increase. According to CCU Chairperson Simon Sanchez that would constitute a 363-percent increase over an eight year period. The CCU is requesting the Rear Admiral revist the proposed increase because it would force the Guam Waterworks Authority to charge an additional 2-3 percent to ratepayers.
