Six months into its fiscal year, the City of Bowie’s budget is meeting its half-way point in revenues and expenses with the exception of the water department where inflation and the cost of supplies is taking a toll.
Finance Director Pamela Woods presented the second quarter report to the city council last week and said they are looking at a nearly half million deficit during the first six months in the water department.
