Residential developers and several city directors voiced concern Thursday for proposed fee increases in water utilities, noting the size and immediacy if they are approved.
The city s Utility Department is looking for ways to address water mains during a time when they have a shortage of employees but a greatly increasing number of customers.
City directors unanimously approved spending $350,000 for engineering company Burns and McDonnell to continue providing services related to attempts to modify an agreement the city signed with the state and federal governments.
