An annual rite of spring in NYC has been the often contentious debate over the setting of the rate customers will pay for the city's water and sewer system in the coming fiscal year. Since 1995 the rate has increased every year, some years by as much as 10 percent or more. The de Blasio Administration recently made its first water rate proposal calling for an increase of 3.35 percent.
