Elyria to Consider Water Rate Hikes Up to 28 Percent
Elyria residents face an average monthly increase of 4.57 dollars starting January if City Council approves rate hikes recommended Thursday. The plan targets a 3.64 dollar water and 0.93 dollar sewer rise, driving a 28 percent water bill increase and 2.75 percent sewer rise to fund a 154 million dollar water project and a 105 million dollar sewer upgrade. City officials cited a projected 777 thousand dollar deficit in the water fund without higher rates. Council did not vote and will reconvene with data charts next week.
