The Falls Church city manager announced that officials have delayed a vote to set the city’s new water utility rate after lawyers representing Fairfax County questioned whether the new rates violate a court decision regarding how much the water utility can charge. City consultants proposed raising the rate by 8 percent this year, which would result in an increase of $8 to $32, depending on use, for customers per year. About 110,000 Fairfax County residents get their water from Falls Church.
