(Arnolds Park)– Arnolds Park residents could soon be paying more for water. The city council last week set April 9th as the date for a public hearing on a possible rate increase.
Under the proposal, rates for minimum users would go from $90 per quarter to $95 per quarter effective July 1st. Those who use amounts larger than the minimum would see their rates go up from $6.70 per 1,000 gallons to $7.25 per 1,000 gallons.
City officials say it’s due to increases being passed on from Central Water, which also supplies the city of Okoboji with drinking water.
