Bowie declines water, sewer rate reduction request

Published

on

Bowie City Councilors took no action Tuesday on a pair citizen petitions asking to rescind Oct. 1 water and wastewater rate hikes, citing the lack of a draft ordinance being included with the petition.
With a crowd of about 30 in attendance, Mayor Gene Brown announced the city council would not take action on items three through six on the agenda, which were acceptance of petitions and calling an election on the items. Brown said they would not address those because “we did not receive a draft of a proposed ordinance” as required by the city charter.
