LEBANON — City Council accepted two reports Tuesday night that recommend $44 million in water and sewer system repairs and expansion by 2020.

        “You shouldn't be surprised to hear about rate increases down the road,” Councilman Norm Dreyer II warned residents.

        Some of the most immediate needs are in sewer repairs, consultant Finkbeier, Pettis & Strout noted, and council voted 7-0 Tuesday to proceed with two of those projects.

        The expected cost for those projects is $680,000.

        In other business, Acting City Manager Pat Clements noted that the 2-year-old, city owned cable system has topped 3,000 subscribers.
