STATESVILLE, N.C. — The Statesville City Council approved changes to its utility services policy after years of residents complaining about outrageously high bills.

City officials said they're changing the required deposit from a two-month average to one month.

They also agreed to let customers sign up for an equal payment plan if they have no prior outstanding balances.
