The City Council approved the water and sewer rates on Tuesday, which will be rising, but they would have been higher if not for an earlier decision. Water and sewer bills will be rising by 3.5 percent for Watertown residents and other customers. A residential customer who uses 4,000 cubic feet of water will see an increase of $26.87 per quarter. The rate for 100 cubic feet of water for tier 1, which is most single family homes, is $5.68 for water, $11.46 for sewer, and $17.14 combined. Despite the increase, City Manager George Proakis said the rate hikes have been higher in recent years, and it is below what had been forecast.
