The average Omaha-area homeowner can expect to pay about 7.9 percent more for the water portion of their Metropolitan Utilities District bill, after board members approved a rate increase Wednesday.

The MUD board, voting 6-0, approved a plan that will charge the average homeowner an extra $2.30 a month for water.
