Alpine water well hearing sparks dispute over rates
A Friday hearing in Alpine focused on a proposed $9,100 water well in Sunny Glen and new rate increases approved by council members. Mayor McBride faulted the process for bypassing bids, while supporters argued the wells are essential to growth and water supply. Existing bills show a 3.000 gallon minimum and escalating per thousand gallon charges under a complex rate plan.
