BUCKEYE, Ariz. (KSAZ) - Complaints over skyrocketing water bills in Buckeye come to a head as the city's water resources director was placed on administrative leave.

The issue has been going on for months now, with a number of residents reporting their water bills have gone up hundreds, even thousands of dollars -- and they don't understand why.

Now they're demanding answers and further action by the city.
