The city of Wilmington’s utility rate increase looks to go forward as planned.
Water and sewer rates are set to increase automatically by 2% in June. On April 15, the city’s water, sewer, streets and alleys committee held a discussion on that planned increase.
Members of the committee recognized that there have been calls for addressing payments due to the city during a time when many people are not working or bringing in their usual pay due to the current stay-at-home orders.
However, city officials said decisions on water rates are more complex.
