Agreement reached on water fee surcharge between Amherst and Elyria
Amherst and Elyria negotiators reached a tentative deal lowering the water surcharge from 22 percent to 5 percent on the Middle Ridge Road line. The plan could save Amherst about 55,000 dollars annually, with potential customer savings of roughly 16.50 dollars per year if city rates drop. Both councils must approve the proposed rate.
