Since 2002, the Village of Lewiston - through no fault of its own - has paid the Niagara County Water District only 54 percent of what was due for its allotted water usage. The municipality was supposed to pay $1.40 per $1,000 gallons used, but instead was charged and paid 75 cents per 1,000 gallons. That will change tomorrow, when the village mails a check to the county for the full amount, $132,915.61.
