Even after years of debate, Common Council has not decided whether or not it wants to implement city wide water metering.

Mayor Ivan Court has resisted water meters believing they would financially penalise larger families but the head of Municipal Operations Paul Groody argues the flat rate charged for water results in too much being wasted because you're not charged for how much you use.
