By: Staff Reporter

The Niagara Falls Water Board is set to hold a public hearing on Monday, December 21st, 2020, regarding a 5.5% rate increase for residents which would go into effect in 2021.

Although a vote is not expected on the rate increase until Monday, December 28th, the Niagara Reporter has confirmed from a source familiar with internal Water Board discussions that the proposed 5.5% rate increase will pass.

“It is going to pass,” said the source.

This means that the rate increase will go into effect in 2021.
