Gainesville council at stalemate over raising water rates
Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council is deadlocked on whether to raise water rates 1 percent after a 3-3 vote Tuesday night. City management officials said they would work to revise the ordinance, which, in addition to setting the water rate, also sets the sewer rate, account service fee and other utilities costs for 2015, in the coming weeks. If the impasse remains, officials said the water rate would remain unchanged next year.
