Water rate fight looms as appraisal is ordered
Atchison officials anticipate a clash with the water company over possible rate hikes as Burns McDonald engineers begin a revised appraisal of the utility. The 1919 valuation by Black Veatch may be superseded by reproduction costs less depreciation, potentially lifting rates. A public service commission challenge is expected if higher rates are sought.
