Question: “Your water utility bill includes charges for water, for sewer service and for garbage collection. Overall, do
you think the rates the city charges for these services are…?”
Base: Respondents who pay a water bill, excluding “don’t knows”. (2002 n=456; 2003 n=464; 2005 n=422)
Note: This question asked beginning in 2002.
Statistical Note: A single-line “up” arrow (↑) indicates a significant increase and a single-line “down” arrow (↓)
indicates a significant decrease from the last wave in 2003. A block “up” arrow (×) indicates a significant increase
and a block “down” arrow (Ø) indicates a significant decrease from the first wave in 2000 (i.e., difference significant at
or above the 95% confidence level.)
