Culpeper Citizens Seek Ground for Utility Rate Challenge
About 35 Culpeper citizens formed Concerned Culpeper Citizens and hired attorney Bruce Clark to explore possible legal action over high water sewer and electric rates. They note water and sewer bills exceed those of nearby cities, cite an 87 percent water and sewer rate rise and a 50 percent jump from demand metering on businesses. The group argues mismanagement may be a factor while Culpeper continues upgrades to meet state water quality standards.
