WATER-SEWER MEETING

City staff will host an informational meeting tonight about the proposed water-sewer hookup rate increases for next year.

The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. at the Municipal Center, 441 Market. City officials say the new fees, which would take effect July 1, are necessary to offset the cost of growth. by CNB
