(La Porte, IN) - The Mayor of La Porte is hosting another informational event for the public on Facebook Live this evening.

The superintendents of the water and sewer department will explain the need for a rate increase.  The rate increase will reflected on the next billing.  Mayor Tom Dermody said the rate increase is needed to start making a dent in the $100 million in upgrades needed to a more than century old system.

The program called “Ask Me Anything” will air beginning at 6 p.m. on the Mayor’s Facebook page.
