A proposed rate hike by the San Antonio Water System is being met with opposition from District 9 City Councilwoman Misty Spears. She has stated her intention to lobby against the hike until certain information is released. The city-owned utility was expected to complete a financial and performance audit by June 30, but it has not been released.

The missing audit has raised concerns, and Councilwoman Spears is taking a stance against the rate hike until the audit is made available. Further details about the situation and the proposed rate hike are available from the San Antonio Current. The councilwoman's decision to oppose the rate hike is based on the lack of transparency regarding the utility's financial situation, as reflected in the missing audit.
