WINNIPEG -- Winnipeggers may soon have to shell out more money for their water bills.

The city's environmental committee is set to discuss a proposed 9.2 per cent increase for water and sewer rates, which would cost a family of four an additional $23 on their quarterly water and sewer bill.

The report also recommends rate increases of 8.9 per cent and 7.4 per cent for the  next two years.

This comes a day after the city's 2016 preliminary budget was tabled, which proposes hikes in property tax and frontage levy fees.

The water rate hikes will be discussed at a special meeting on Friday.

The hike and the 2016 budget will go for a final council vote on March 22.
