If passed, this would be the first comprehensive water rate hike in the City of San Diego in the past eight years. During Tuesday's meeting, dozens of people spoke out against the rate hike. Some waved signs, urging the council members to vote no. "Everything is going up right now, lights, gas, food. You know what's not going up?
