Sewer and Water Rates

While city taxes won't be going up a lot this year, you can expect a big hike in your utility bills.

City Council has approved a 5 percent increase in sewer and waterrates as of April 1st.

Finance Manager Karen Brown says they needed to increase ratesto help pay for much needed upgrades to the system.

Increases of five percent are also recommended in each of the nextfour years, but it will be up to the next council to decide whether to implement the higher rates.
