The Pella City Council will hold the first reading of an ordinance to review a water rate increase at their meeting tonight.

City Administrator Mike Nardini told KNIA/KRLS News the possible change is part of an annual review tied to financing the city’s $16 million system improvements. The council will also look to set a public hearing date for the Central College underground electric conversion project.

Regular session begins at 7 p.m. in the Pella Public Safety Complex on Liberty Street.
