A 26% water rate increase is more than most residents can stomach.

【stomach】水费提高 26% 让大多数居民都感到无法承受。

So we're embarking, we did it five years ago, I've raised water rates 25%, 15%, 15%, 15% and then indexed them so nobody has to go back and to this vote again on raising water rates.

所以我们开始了， 我们五年前就这样做了， 我已经将水费提高了 25%、15%、15%、15%，然后将它们编入索引， 这样就没有人需要再回去参加这次关于提高水费的投票。
