Port Charlotte residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on possible increases to utility rates at a public hearing scheduled for Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. The meeting will take place in Room 119 at 18500 Murdock Circle and will focus on a proposed rate hike for Utilities Department services. Community members are encouraged to attend and share their input.
Recently, there was a minor hiccup involving the announced date for this meeting, printed incorrectly on monthly bills sent to ratepayers. The Utilities Department has extended its apologies for the confusion spurred by this mistake. Residents, for better planning their attendance, will find the correct date on the Charlotte County website.
For those looking for more information ahead of the hearing or wanting to prepare their input, Stu Gooden is the point of contact. He can be reached at [email protected], according to an article posted on the Charlotte County website.
