Chillicothe residents would see a 2% increase

Chillicothe water and sewer customers will be seeing an increase in their rates, as a results of the annual Water Rate Commission meeting.

Mayor Jack Everson says an automatic 2% increase is allowed, unless council stops it. The mayor says increasing electric rates, which power the water company plant, is just one reason for the need for a slight increase this year.

Last year, the commission voted to allow for a 2% "decrease" in rates, which Mayor Everson says might have caused the city to "be caught short" this year in finances of the water department.
