The proposed water and sewer rate increases for Libby city residents and business owners has generated considerable discussion in the community, but officials still believe they are necessary.
At the March 4 council meeting, city council approved a resolution of intent to increase rates for users, inside city limits and those outside who are connected, of the municipal utility system.
City officials will hold a public hearing in council chambers at the city building at 7 p.m. Monday, April 8. The hearing will give Libby utility customers to hear the city’s recommended changes.
