Pulaski Water Rate Increase

It seems with all the shenanigans going on with the county the city hasn't been getting enough attention and has slipped a real treat to citizens.

The Pulaski City Council voted on first reading to increase water rates almost 50%.

This was reported on TV 5 news last night. Nothing at that time had been announced on WKSR. WTVF reported that the increase would add about $11.00 dollars to an average water bill. I called the Recorders office this morning and was informed that it was true but that the increase would only be $6.99 per 2,000 gallons. After checking my last bill I find that would be about an $11.00 increase. -- Allen Barrett

Some high or low-lights from the meeting included but was not limited to the following: (please click on "comments" to continue)
