HARTFORD -- There's a big meeting and vote Monday night for the MDC's proposed water rate increase.
The meeting is set for 5 p.m. and the decision to increase the water rate has gotten a lot of push-back from the Hartford community.
The proposed budget for 2020 includes raising the water rate from $3.50 per 100 cubic feet to just above $4 -- that's more than a 14% increase.
The water rate has actually risen roughly 25% in the past two years.
The district meeting was originally planned for December 2, but was postponed due to inclement weather.
