In addition to the rate increase, McGovern is proposing an increase in the town's sewer connection fee by $500 to $4,000.

UFE has been shown to relieve symptoms in up to 90 percent of women treated, and is recognized by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as a safe and effective option for women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.
