This week the Iowegian wants readers to think about the recent decision by the Centerville Municipal Waterworks Board of Directors to increase the fee for late payment of water bills.
In a story published in Wednesday's Ad Express, board members announced a 10 percent late fee after two days late, a $50 red tag fee for accounts unpaid after seven days late and a $25 shut off fee, water service terminated after two weeks late.
The board said the decision to increase the fees associated with late payment is to encourage customers to pay their bills on time.
So, the question this week is, "Are these fees too much to ask for?"
