City canât afford to forgo fees
Dear Editor:
The citizens of Ouray have seen their water and sewer rates double in the past five years. The City Council would like to increase utility rates this year. We have a $15 million wastewater treatment plant that needs to be paid for. The city was offered a land swap a couple of years ago to be used for affordable housing in lieu of tap fees and the City said “no”. Now the city is considering giving up $450,000 to a real estate development firm. Absolutely NO!
