(Dec. 31, 2008, WAOW)

Starting January 1st, water rates in the Village of Brokaw will nearly triple and that has some homeowners upset.

Right now, the average Brokaw homeowner pays less than $50 dollars every 4 months for 9,000 gallons of water. When their next water bill comes, they’ll pay nearly $130.  It’s an increase some say they didn’t expect.
