The price for water is going up in the city of Lancaster.The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday night to pass an amendment to the city's water ordinance that includes a 13.7% rate increase.For an average customer, that means an increase from $84 a quarter to nearly $96."It aligned the water rates to be consistently measured by volume and not by the width of the pipe that serves the property," said Director of Public Works Stephen Campbell.The water rate increase will go into effect in October. The rate increase only impacts residents living in the city.If residents need help paying their water bills, they can apply for assistance through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
