City residents will see a $4.60 drop in their monthly water bills under a plan approved Tuesday by the City Council’s Finance Committee.
The council will be asked Aug. 2 to give final approval to the plan, which would reduce the August to December water bills. The council would have to decide in November whether to continue the abatement.
The plan, which was first floated in March by Mayor Arthur Schultz, reduces the city’s $6.60 monthly water service charge to $2. Residents still would be billed for actual water and sewer usage.
“This is a shoo-in,” Schultz said Tuesday of the upcoming vote. “The money is there, so why not do it?”
