A new water rate schedule adopted by the Escalon City Council nearly three years ago was brought back for review at the Feb. 20 council session, and council members agreed to follow through with the proposed rate hike for this year. On March 16, 2015, the council adopted the schedule, which included annual increases with each March billing cycle. City staff was also asked to bring back the schedule increase with an evaluation of the fund prior to implementation each year.
