A number of upgrades and construction projects is pushing the city to increase water and sewer rates.

In all, officials are asking for a $40 flat rate increase—$10 for water and $30 for sewer.

Some of the projects coming up include relining the water line on Riverside Drive between Shirley and Government Road, as well as rehabilitation of the Primary Clarifier 1 at the Mattagami Waste Water Plant.

This will come back at a later date.
