The Dalles Council Reduces Water Rate Increase

The Dalles City Council decided to roll back its planned water rate increase for this year from ten percent to five percent.  Councilors received a report from City Public Works Director Dave Anderson that municipal water revenue was already $284,000 over what they expected this fiscal year.  The Council has been wrestling with an unpopular rate increase plan while dealing with how to pay for a list of needed capital improvement projects.  Councilor Tim McGlothlin is in favor of the drop in the rate increase, and wants to find more ways to chop it down.  Anderson said increased industrial water use led to the water revenue jump.
