Speaking of Water Rates

The Commercial Appeal is running an article based on yesterday's 2010 budget meeting with the MLGW Board of Commissioners. The article mainly focuses on the possibility of water rate increases after 2010, but it's important to note that the current MLGW budget for 2010 contains NO rate increases. The budget also includes no layoffs.

And by the way, don't forget that we've got the lowest rates for water/wastewater according to the February 2009 report of water and wastewater bill comparisons compiled by Austin Water Utility in Austin, Texas.
