Water prices may increase
By PAUL GAUDETTE
Staff Writer
Dublin residents could be
'facing higher water bills in
the next few months
according to City Manager
Nancy Wooldridge.
The city was recently
alerted by the Upper Leon
River Municipal Water
District that they were
increasing their rates to
member cities by 30% on
Oct. 1.
In balancing the new
budget and pursuing a lower

tax rate, the city council
made many cuts. Wooldridge
offered that there aren’t
enough funds in the new
budget to cover this increase
so the cost will probably
have to go to Dublin residents
in their monthly water bills,
although the decision will
have to be made by the city
council in their next
meeting.
If enacted, the increased
rates will first be noticed in
the November water bill.
In addition to Dublin,

DeLeon, Gorman, Hamilton
and neighboring rural
communities.
Upper Leon General
Manager Gary Lacey reported
that there were two reasons
they were pursuing increased
rates from their customers:
plant expansion and
decreased water sales.
There haven't been any
improvements made since
the plant was built in the
I960’s, and the district is
planning for expansion like

weren’t celebrated. She
described it as a dark place.
What she was really hungry
for was someone to love
her.
She learned of the gift of
love when she was 12 and a
mission group from Newnan,
Ga. arrived in their town.
Among the volunteers was a
woman named Connie who
connected with her and told
the children about God.
“She told us about God
who loves us,” she
remembered. “It was very
surprising to hear that I was
loved.”
