Council approved a rate increase for water and wastewater service to support capital improvements; staff said the new rates keep the city in the lower third among Minnesota utilities.

The Crookston City Council approved a resolution to raise water and wastewater rates for 2025 to generate revenue for planned capital improvements and future system needs.
