The El Dorado City Council will convene for a regular meeting at 5:30 p.m. today and at the top of the agenda is the third reading of ordinances that, if approved, would increase water and wastewater rates to a level that will allow the El Dorado Water Utilities pick up the pace in making much-needed repairs to city’s aging water and wastewater infrastructure.
The proposal was part of a recommendation from a comprehensive rate and strategic planning study that was conducted by Raftelis, a utility and public-sector consulting firm that focuses on finance, organization and technology, including water and wastewater rate studies, cost analyses and financial and strategic planning.
