The Board of Alderman's recent action to increase water rates by 25% will be billed retroactively on the next bill. The action begs the question, is this legal and should it be allowed to force ratepayers to pay an increase on water they have already used? People would use water more conservatively if they knew they were paying 25% more for it. Many municipalities have deemed these retroactive rates illegal after review, will our City Hall?
