Paris City Council Raises Water, Sewer Rates

The Paris City Council has voted to raise the water and sewer rates. For a user of 2000 gallons, the cost would increase by about $3.27, for a 5,000-gallon use the bill would be $5.65 more, and for someone who uses 10,000, their rate would increase by $14.93. In other business, the council voted to increase the membership on the PEDC Board of Directors from 5–7. A motion to remove councilmember, Dr. AJ Hashmi, from the PEDC board, died because there was no second to the proposal.
