Goodyear Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Services Rate Hikes

Описание: The latest rate hikes for Goodyear Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste services have been two years in the making.

Whether you're a Goodyear resident trying to understand your bill, a policy watcher following municipal rate-setting, or someone who wants to see how City Hall makes these decisions, this video brings all the pieces together.
