Eaton Rapids residents are pushing back against city officials when it comes to their utilities.
“It takes a lot more out of the budget, I was paying 100 now I pay 150 a month,” Eaton Rapids native Kraig Orr said.
Eaton Rapids native Kraig Orr has been in the town his whole life and for the first time he feels blindsided by the city.
“I was kind of upset, cause there was no for warning or nothing I had to call the city to find out what was going on,”
Kraig tells me with the recent increase in utilities, it’s been a roadblock for him and his family and wonders why the city is doing this.
“100 or 200 dollars a month some pay more for electrical or water if they got a bigger family, but if there is 2,000 people and they charge 200 a household it’s a lot of money the city is bringing in,”
