Water Utility Ordinance Updates
Summary
Two ordinances updating water billing rules passed 7-0 — but the backdrop is a plan to raise water and sewer rates roughly 25% a year to rebuild 70-year-old treatment plants. A resident on a fixed income pleaded for caution; staff clarified the ordinances actually improve leak credits and billing dispute processes.
