On March 10, 2010 at 10:00 AM, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) will hold a hearing regarding Liberty Water's (formerly Rio Rico Utilities, Inc.) request for a 111.36% rate increase for all water customers within the utility.

If the ACC approves this 111.36% increase in water rates, customers of Liberty Water will see their bills more than double.

Rio Rico water customers have an opportunity to shares their views about the proposed rate increase by contacting the Arizona Corporation Commission.
