Iowa City weighs a local-option tax with 4.5 million dollar annual revenue projected to fund a 50 million water plant and avoid higher water bills. Solon and other Johnson County towns show interest, with estimates ranging from about 19 thousand to 56 thousand dollars in single towns. Local leaders cite visitor taxes as a funding alternative and seek a ballot choice.
