The rates approved in 2008 increased bills by 27.5 percent the first year, 12.5 percent the second, 12.5 percent the third and 12 percent the fourth. Franklin said Atlanta’s rates already are higher than other major cities.
Auditors suggested the later hikes might be reduced by as much as 2 percent to 4 percent.
The Department of Watershed Management strongly disagreed with the finding that its rate increases could be scaled back. Officials noted they had recently re-evaluated rates because of the recession.
