City Hopes Budget Increases to Fund Major Improvements
Hammond proposes a 13.2 million dollar budget with 3.7 million for capital work including sewer upgrades and 20 streets. Water and sewer rates would rise to offset a 2.45 million dollar sewer project, with July rate hikes and a 36 percent water and 50 percent sewer increase. The plan targets stormwater leaks, a city crew to attack infiltration, and several large projects near Oak Ridge, Jungle Growth, and Sun Lane.
