EASTON | The city will settle a lawsuit with its former water plant operator over disputed fees because the city for eight years never challenged those costs, according to the city solicitor. City council is expected to approve a settlement tonight with United Water Contract Services LLC that pays the firm $171,250.
...... Public Works Director David Hopkins said the city argued it did not owe United Water as much as the company claimed. While United sought payment for overages, it did not credit the city for expenses that came in under budget, he said.
