Mayor Lee Posey stated in the Council meeting held on August 10, 2015, that the City of Natchitoches water department has been losing money and the current Council is considering an increase in the water rates paid by the City Water Department customers. As first reported last Tuesday in the Journal, the Public Hearing on water rates will be held on August 24, 2015 at 6pm. Please make plans to attend. This hearing is the proper place for water department customers to have their opinions heard.
Would be nice to see some details and analysis. Why is the water department losing money? How much does the cost to service water well road have to do with it?
