Placeholder Image
Gainesville City Council voted 4-1 today to leave water rates unchanged and raise the account service fee 85 cents. The decision comes after the council deadlocked last month on whether to raise water rates 1 percent. Council members George Wangemann and Sam Couvillon joined Mayor Danny Dunagan in opposing the water rate increase at the last meeting, while members Ruth Bruner, Bob Hamrick and Myrtle Figueras voted in favor of the increase.
