Boardman reviews water/sewer rate study Boardman City Councilors reviewed a water/sewer rate study at their regular meeting Tuesday night. The study was prepared by City engineers Anderson Perry and was presented to the Council at their August 21st, meeting. The City anticipates they will need to generate increased reserves funds, for repairs to the existing water/sewer systems and for future infrastructure needs. The goal o f the study is to create a tool for the Council to use in making an informed decision about how to restructure the water and sewer rates. After reviewing the study Tuesday, Councilors deferred any decision about rates until after they have had a chance to confer with the local water board made up o f City and Port officials and Port customers. In other City news, Jill Pambrun was sworn in as Boardman’s newest City Councilor. She fills a vacancy left last month by Lu Ann Huffman. Her term ends December 31, 2008. The next regularly scheduled meeting o f the Boardman City Council is Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 7pm at Boardman City Hall.
