Water company faces 35 percent rate hike at city hall
About 40 businessmen and executives attended a Monday night meeting at city hall to discuss Seymour Water Company's proposed 35 percent rate increase aimed at funding the Rockford dam, a flocculator, and a pension system. The plan, last updated in 1961, would adjust the rate base and improve capacity for growth and large industry. Hopkin and Hamlin answered questions from Mayor Laupus while noting the project would use a new flocculator once approved.
