City Council approves 40 percent utility cut for seniors
Few seniors have signed up for the new utility discount approved by the City Council to lower water sewer and garbage bills by 40 percent. The plan targets residents 65 and older with annual income under 3000 and would cut a 13 dollar monthly bill to 7.80. The program opens to those turning 65 and to low income elderly within city limits with city officials expecting up to 150 qualifying residents and an annual cost near 8000.
