Water and Sewer Rates Discussed


Fort Frances town councillors held off making any decision on new water and sewer rates at their meeting last night.

Councillor Andrew Hallikas says they first want to hear about a financial asset management report that comes to council Monday.

"By looking at this report and the trends it reveals, it's going to show council exactly where we might have to apply ourselves in terms of taxation this year," says Hallikas.

It was noted that a one per cent increase in rates would bring in about $51-thousand in revenue.
