Mon, 01/09/2023 - 12:47pm

By ordinance, a 3% increase for customers of the city of Abbeville’s water system goes into effect each Jan. 1.
After issues with the recent hard freeze, city officials have moved that increase to March 1.
“Automatically, we have an increase on Jan. 1,” Mayor Roslyn White said during Tuesday’s regular city council meeting. “We should postpone it, just to not have it applicable to those people who had frozen pipes in December.”
