Santa Rosa officials are congratulating city residents on their water conservation efforts. Earlier this year residents were asked to cut back by 15% due to lower-than-normal supplies in Lake Mendocino. That has been achieved, but now the Board of Public Utilities is considering raising water rates by 8% because the conservation efforts mean less revenue for City Hall. Sewer rates could go up 7%. If approved, the new rates would take effect in January.
