Water rate hikes go to committee for study in Norwalk
A city council committee will study proposed increases in Norwalk water and sewer rates. The plan would more than double quarterly charges for many customers to cover deficits in the water and sewage departments. The review could wrap up before year end despite opposition from large users. House Senate conferees also approved 255 million for regional commissions over two years, with first dollar money enabling earlier project start.
