Kenora residents can expect to pay more for their sewer and water again next year.Kenora city council is expected to approve another 10 percent increase in rates
at it's open meeting this afternoon
Last year, councilors agreed to raise sewer and water rates at least ten percent a year
for the next five years.
City administration says it needs the increase to build up their reserves in order to repair
and replace aging infrastructure, such as sewer and water lines as well as lift stations and storm
sewers.
Some members of council say they are concerned about the ability of low income residents to
pay the higher rates.
