Water Rates Upsetting
Some rural residents around International Falls are upset with the cost they now have to pay for the delivery of city water.
The city increased rates last month.
Resident Kathie Fluke says an increase of 48 per cent to the out-of-town delivery charge contrast to the 20 per cent increase impacted users in the city.
But the city says it's increase only amounts to a few dollars, depending on the amount of water used and any higher costs could be associated with fees applied by the independent water haulers.
