Smith to buck rate increase at Monday council meeting
Alderman Earl Smith will oppose a city water rate hike at the next council meeting. The plan would raise the average user bill from 3.62 to 4.06 per month, about 12 percent, to fund expansion and repair of the water system. Smith argues a unanimous council is needed and questions expansion timing and funding, noting colleagues will be absent due to holidays. Public Works supporters defend the need, while electrical rate impacts are cited as a concern.
