Town hall about rising utility costs happening in Yuma

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - If you're worried about rising utility costs, the Arizona Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) wants to hear from you.

A town hall is taking place Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Yuma Main Library, and is to help residents learn about Arizona Public Service's (APS) proposal to raise utility rates again.

They will provide information on how to make your voice heard as well as provide resources to reduce APS customers' bill.

"Having ratepayers make their views known, having folks that intervene in the rape case and can really kind of challenge some of the assumptions really can make a difference. And so, it's really important for folks in Yuma to make their voices heard," said Diane Brown, Executive Director for Arizona PIRG.

Paul Vozzella will have the full story later this evening.
