Three cities gain water rate voting authority

Bandon, North Bend, and Reedsport can set charges for city-provided water and wastewater services by majority vote of their governing bodies. This applies to fees, rates, and other charges, even when city charters or codes say otherwise. The law itself does not change bills. Later city decisions may raise or lower charges.
