Water rate hike to wait until February
This as Manila Water Company Inc. said today water rate hikes would have to wait until February as it looks forward to the decision of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System for the possible granting of the extension of its contracts with water concessionaries.
Skokie officials last night unanimously approved a nearly 5 percent water rate hike, increasing average residential water bills by $1.73 a month.
