The Town of Black Diamond is looking at raising its water and sewer rates by 4.5 per cent this year and again next year.

Right now the single family residential rate for water and wastewater services bi-monthly is $94.70.

According to a draft bylaw which has received first reading, that would jump to $98.96 if approved.

The commercial rate is at $1,702.56 and would increase to $1,779.16.

It's expected the bylaw will come back to council in April for any changes or for final approval.
