Two Routes Open In Drive For Low Water Rate
City council weighed three options to lower Jefferson City water bills. A $18,000 annual cut with no strings attached won council approval, with hearings before the Public Service Commission set for June 19. If the rate cut is approved, the city may dismiss the hearing. otherwise litigation costs and amortization would raise consumer charges. Water company reps argued a 20 year franchise would deliver $12,500 annual savings and avoid court costs. City Attorney Bond urged continuing pressure for the larger cut and warned litigation could proceed if terms aren t met.
