This past week our new City Council voted 6-1 to increase rates an astonishing 12.5% for water despite the community "howling" over the costs of its water and sewer bills. Only Councilor Bowerman opposed the rate increase.Citizens and members are wondering about the direction of the new council with this vote.
Details can be found at Water Rates and Another Rise in Water Rates?
Its too early to tell but many may be wondering if this council really intends to reform the mistakes of the past or just "pass the buck". Lets give it enough time to evaluate but it is clear costs are going up in Lake Oswego, even under a "fiscally conservative" council. Please notify all members, contacts, and friends....
