MENTONE — Mentone Town Council is considering a rate hike for its water utility.
Council heard an update from Baker Tily this week that proposed a 28 percent increase, according to clerk-treasurer Amanda Yaprak.
Most residential customers currently pay about $27 a month, but that could rise to $35 a month.
Yaprak said they’re looking at different options including a phase-in of the hike over several years.
The hike would help offset a small deficit the utility has been running, she said.
No decision has been made and a public hearing would be needed if the town pursues any plan.
