SUISUN CITY - Suisun City residents will be paying more for their water next year if the Suisun-Solano Water Authority approves a plan to raise rates this fall as well as in 2008 and 2009.
The water authority, which comprises the Suisun City Council and the Solano Irrigation District governing board, wants to raise rates 6 percent in September, 5 percent July 1, 2008, and 5 percent July 1, 2009.
"We have gotten no formal protests yet," Suisun City Financial Services Officer Mark Joseph said. "I am a little surprised."
The authority announced the increases two months ago and held a community meeting June 26, which only a dozen residents attended to give their input.
Even after the increases, Suisun City residents will still be paying less for their water than their neighbors in Fairfield but more than Vacaville residents, according to Joseph.

A high-speed chase from Suisun City to West Sacramento early Sunday ended with the arrest of a Fairfield man and the escape of two other suspects.
Timothy Murphy, 19, was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of evading a peace officer and possession of a stolen vehicle.
Around 4:50 a.m., Suisun City police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle on Spoonbill Lane. The blue 2004 Suzuki XL-7, occupied by three people, was spotted on Pintail Drive, but its driver apparently refused an officer's order to stop. A chase ensued through Fairfield, Vacaville and in excess of 100 mph on eastbound Interstate 80.
Officers from Vacaville, Dixon, Davis, West Sacramento and the California Highway Patrol aided in the pursuit.
The Suzuki later spun out near Raley Field in West Sacramento and the occupants ran off, police said.
Murphy, the driver, was captured, police said.

Suisun City Police Officer of the Year Announced
SUISUN CITY — Suisun City Police Chief Ed Dadisho has announced the selection of Detective Bill Lee as the Police Department’s Officer of the Year for 2006.
"Detective Lee is one of the most versatile Officers we have in this Department. While still a patrolman at heart, he easily transitioned to the role of Detective and has been just as dogged in his approach to investigative work,” Chief Dadisho said. “Investigative leads that do not pan out seem to fuel his fire even more.”
Detective Lee also was selected as Officer of the Quarter for July 1-Sep 30, 2006.
Among his many accomplishments this year, Detective Lee

Detective Lee also was selected as Officer of the Quarter for July 1-Sep 30, 2006.
Among his many accomplishments this year, Detective Lee
- Tackled several sexual assault type cases, prepared and executed search warrants, and made several arrests. Convictions have already been earned
- Recently solved a strong-armed robbery where three juveniles and one adult were arrested for robbing a couple as they were walking together in town
- Flawlessly worked a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle. A consent/probation search of the car revealed numerous stolen digital cameras and related items embezzled from a major appliance store. The suspect almost immediately pleaded guilty and was subsequently sentenced.
- Bill has a ton of energy and is not intimidated when confronted with a large investigation. His investigations move forward at a rapid pace, perhaps faster than any other employees’ work. Bill has put some great pressure on the “Taliban Squad” gang, two of whom are looking at some very serious prison time if the prosecution prevails.
- Proved to be an outstanding Range Master. It was due to his persistence that Suisun City officers now have access to the Vacaville Shooting Gallery. He never gave up on this project even though it had laid dormant in bureaucracy for more than 18 months.
