<p>The San Diego City Council on Tuesday voted to adjust water and sewer rates over the next four years in part to help fund a new recycled water program that is expected to provide a new source of drinking water for the City and to level sewer rates between single-family homes and other users.</p>
<p>Water rates will increase by 3% for all users next year to pass on higher rates being charged by the San Diego County Water Authority that imports water from Northern California for local agencies. </p>
