CONOVER, N.C. —
People in Conover could see their water bills increase this summer.
The city manager Tuesday unveiled his proposed budget for next year, which includes a three percent increase in the water rate.
Conover buys its water from the city of Hickory, which is raising the rates.
City officials said they cannot absorb the increase and will have to pass it on to customers.
