About 200 signatures have been obtained on petition to protest a 40 percent water rate increase from Red River Water Authority, which went into effect February 1.
Howardwick City Secretary Sandy Childress said she is still working to gather more signatures to block the rate increase.
Red River Water Authority serves the City of Howardwick and several rural residents and communities. More than 400 signatures of Red River customers are needed to protest the rate.
Childress encourages any Red River customer to sign the petition soon because of a looming deadline to block the increase. Red River customers interested in signing Howardwickâs petition are asked to call Childress at City Hall at 806-874-2222.
