City Hall error means some city water bills included a late fee, contrary to mayor's plan to stop charging them

Midway Mayor Grayson Vandegrift's experiment to no longer charge late fees on city water bills has  had a hiccup, he announced today.

"A clerical mistake resulted in us sending out water bills with the late fee included," Vandegrift said in an email.

Deputy City Clerk Sonya Conner said in an email, "If someone does happen to pay the late fee, it will be a credit on their next month's bill."

Water bills are sent out near the end of each month and are due on the 10th of the following month.
