New York, NY —

The city Water Board unanimously voted to adopt an 11.5% hike in water and sewer rates, beginning in July. That works out to be a 54% increase in water and sewer rates over the next 4 years. Some lawmakers are still fighting the measure. So far there's been no comment from members of the Water Board.
