Marblehead Village Council seeks input on proposed water rate increases
The Marblehead Village Council will host an informational meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Braithwaite Auditorium at Danbury Local Schools to present findings of a yearlong water rate study and proposed rate increases.
Consumer water rates have not increased in the village since 2009.

In determining new rates, village officials said they worked with representatives of Great Lakes Rural Community Assistance Program on a comprehensive study to ensure sufficient revenue for daily needs as well as reserves to fund future maintenance and capital projects. The study also considered potential benefits of obtaining water from the Ottawa County regional water system.
Village residents and property owners are encouraged to attend to receive information and also provide input on the proposed increase. Those attending should use the parking lot on the east side of the school, which is accessed from Erie Beach Road.
