A group of businesses are calling on Fort Frances town councillors to rethink their approach to sewer and water rates in the town.
The town has been looking to make the rates between commercial and residential users become more equal.
Paul Noonan of La Place Rendez-Vous says double-digit increases aren't reasonable.
"Incresase of fifteen to seventeen per cent or higher annual on sewer and water bill for the high volumne business users are not reasonable," says Noonan, "when combined with the slow pace of redressing the taxation issue between the commercial and residential ratepayers."
Noonan says businesses would rather see rates changes proceed at a pace that more aligned with the decrease in commercial tax rates.
