Neepawa residents will start paying more for water a little later this year. On Thursday, Feb. 2, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) approved a revised water and wastewater rate for the Town, effective July 1, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Before the increase is enacted, the Town will embark upon informing the public on the upcoming change and how it impacts them. As part of that effort, a notice to customers including the decision found in the PUB order, will be sent in the next quarterly billing. Changes to the rates will likely not be noticed by ratepayers until they receive their September water bill.

A monumental effort by the entire NACI Tigers came up just a bit short on Saturday, Feb. 11, falling in overtime to the Virden Golden Bears 5-4, in the Westman High School Hockey League. This game was a huge one for both teams, as the winner would jump into sixth place in the standings, while the loser would end up in the eighth spot heading into the playoffs. The night started with some exciting back and forth action, as Tysne Stanski and Alex Woloski scored early for the Tigers. Virden potted three goals of their own in the first 20 minutes to take the lead.
