Certain Sweet Home residents can get some help on their utility bills, after council approved a Utility Assistance Program during the Nov. 13 meeting. Councilors approved a cap of $5 in assistance per month, after a motion for $10 of assistance failed.
The assistance program follows a September decision to raise rates. City Manager Kelcey Young said most people would see their bills increase about $3 to $5 a month.
