After a joint meeting was held between the county commission and county water board during a special commission meeting held on February 24, it was determined that water rate increases will proceed but in a very small amount as compared to what was initially sent out to users with their invoices.
During the meeting, a very detailed report and presentation was provided from the water department to the county commission.
An hour into the meeting and presentation, McKenzie County Commission Chairman Howdy Lawlar stated, “I have learned more [about the water department] in one hour than I have in my entire time on commission.”
