Sewer and Water Rates

Kenora residents seem pretty indifferent about how high their sewer and water rates

are going up.

Less than a handful of people attended a public meeting last night on the issue.

Chair of the Operations committee Rod McKay while he was disappointed in the turn
out, the issues they are dealing with are important to the city's finances.


Former city councilor Andrew Poirier was one of two people who attended the meeting
and says a proposed 10 percent rate increase over the next six years will effectively
double out sewer and water bills.
