When the council voted to approve the rate change for the water and sewer the residents were NOT informed that they have a right to petition the rate change? After a little research I have found in the TAC rule 291.22 as quoted, “ information on how to protest the rate change, the required number of protests to ensure a hearing, the address of the commission, and the time frame for protests”; this is required before any rate change can be implemented. Why were we not informed? What is the time requirement to do this petition? Can we temporarily stop the increase due to the city not following the Notice of Intent to Change rates rules?
Any help with this issue would be appreciated.
