Gainesville City Council approved keeping water rates unchanged for 2015 in a final vote on the measure Tuesday night. Council voted 4-1, also approving an 85-cent increase in the account service fee on water bills, with Councilman Sam Couvillon casting the lone dissent. Couvillon said he supported a zero percent increase in water rates but only a 65-cent increase in the fee, as initially proposed.
