The council has been a strong voice in the calling for an independent audit of the Water enterprise account and the implementation of a second meter and tiered rate structure for commercial vs. residential. We have had numerous meetings with department heads and continue to publicly discuss these issues. The city has hired a new engineer who is paying close attention to these issues. We will continue to urge the Water and Sewer Commission, who is responsible for the rates, to entertain all of the suggestions we have offered.
