Elyria council approves utility rate hikes amid inflation concerns
Elyria council approved water service up 10 percent and wastewater and sanitation increases of 45 and 45 percent respectively for 2004 with a 4.5 percent rise planned 2005 through 2008. Councilman Paul Blevins questioned why the hikes exceed inflation noting wage and health cost pressures while officials defend the need to maintain service levels. Similar discussions occurred in Lorain and North Ridgeville as they review water and sewer rates, with references to past increases and regional practices.
