Buffalo, NY – City of Buffalo residents might be in for three years of water rate increases. The City's Water Board is expected to proposed rate hikes of 6.5% to 7.5% for each year. That would add up to about a 25% increase.

A public hearing on the proposed water rates will be held Wednesday night at City Hall starting at 6:30 p.m.
