Avedisian Rejects KCWA Rate Hike, Calls Increase ‘Unfair And Unreasonable’
Mayor Scott Avedisian has rejected the Kent County Water Authority’s proposed rate hikes of 10.9 to 14.6 percent on water users and 30 percent on the city’s fire hydrants, intended, in part, to raise $6.6 million over three years for new water meters, suggesting a merge of the authority with another water utility.
