Kalispell City Council will discuss imposing a water rate hike to meet a forecasted budget shortfall at its work session Monday. Officials with the Public Works Department are expected to brief city councilors on how higher than expected costs for scheduled capital improvement projects have made rate increases necessary to keep the water budget sustainable. Council meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 201 First Ave. E., and can also be attended virtually via Zoom. The extent of the fiscal problem emerged after bids for planned infrastructure projects this year came in higher than forecast, wrote Public Works Director Susie Turner in a memo to Council.
