Mount Airy Town Council to vote Monday night on proposal to increase water and sewer rates

The ordinance to increase rates was introduced to the Town Council last month. If approved, the increases will take effect Sept. 1, for 3,200 water and sewer customers. The proposal calls for the flat fee charged to each customer connected to the water system to increase from $21 to $25; sewer service costs would rise from $21 to $28.
