How will that affect my water bill? Wrightsville officials consider plan for selling assets
Wrightsville residents packed the John Wright Restaurant on Wednesday night — all with similar questions on their minds.
If Wrightsville sells its water and sewer assets to help eliminate debt — how will that affect rates, bills and local control?
As Wrightsville Council President Eric White sees it, there's no future in the water and sewer business, he said.
"It's not a good business to be in for a municipality," White told the crowd of about 50, adding that the increasing debt charges for Wrightsville residents and property owners are becoming too costly for some.
