Council Tables Proposed Water Rate Increase
City council discussed a proposed water and sewer rate amendment, which would raise the minimum charge to 6.36 for the first 6000 gallons, but the measure was defeated while the two bills for sodding and a hospital engineering survey were approved for payment. Hundt opposed the Chamlin Engineering bill and the city share of the sodding bill, raising questions about funds though the council ultimately approved all other bills and set aside the water amendment for further consideration.
