Chico council opens sewer-rate public hearing, continues decision to Nov. 17 after intense business opposition
Staff laid out a $106 million five‑year sewer CIP and a proposed cash-funded rate path; public commenters — largely small restaurants — described hefty past and projected bill increases. Council voted 7–0 to continue the public hearing to Nov. 17 to allow staff time to evaluate billing methodology and alternatives.
