Bothell: City weighs water rate increase
The issue of whether to increase water rates to make up for rising costs from the city of Seattle is expected to be discussed Tuesday by the Bothell City Council.
The council will discuss the rates in a study session scheduled for 6 p.m. at Bothell Municipal Court, 10116 NE 183rd St.
The city is considering a 3 percent increase in water rates because Seattle increased its wholesale prices on water. Bothell buys its water from Seattle.
No rate increases are planned for storm water or sewer services.
