SOUTH BEND — South Bend Common Council members declined Monday night to approve the city administration’s request to raise all sewer bills 87 cents more a month to pay for monthly discounts of up to $28.50 for the city’s poorest households. The new surcharge would be added to a $1.75 increase approved by the council in October 2019, yet to be implemented by the administration, to pay for a range of smaller discounts than what is now being proposed. The discounts would appear as “credits” on low-income residents’ bills. The city had planned to put the surcharge and credits into effect over the past summer but delayed them because of the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and plans to switch to a new billing software next month, said city public works Director Eric Horvath.
