Crown Point residents worry about funding future growth with utility rate hikes

The city council is considering a 19-percent water rate hike, to offset the cost of a 37-percent increase in what the city pays Indiana American Water, along with the cost of replacing lead service lines. Council members are also looking to raise the sewer rate, to help pay for a second treatment plant and a new downtown interceptor.
