Municipal Water Lease Proposal Sparks City Debate
The Mydraulile Construction Company seeks a forty to fifty year lease of the city water works, but Common Council opposes a deal that fails to offer adequate rent or free water. Current water operations show a $42,000 balance after expenses, while the proposal would yield $55,000 annually but without freeing the city from water taxes or costs.
