North Ridgeville considers raising water rates
County commissioners discussed the North Ridgeville water system finances with Sanitary Engineer Eugene Roberts. The system, funded by a $1 million revenue bond, has fallen about $20 000 a year behind and will face higher debt service, with costs growing to $17 000 by 1964 and $28 000 by 1967. Roberts urged more residential users, noted 12 industrial and commercial users underpay relative to their water share, and outlined current debts totaling $104 809 with projected income of $64 392. A meeting with North Ridgeville, Elyria, and the bond holder may be scheduled to review options.
