Utility Rates Increase in 2022
Utility rate increases are necessary to cover rising operating costs such as water treatment chemicals, electricity, water meter replacements, well rehabilitation, sewer main repair, lift station rehabilitation, materials and equipment. Utility rate increases also cover construction costs associated with replacing or upgrading aging utilities infrastructure and related debt payments.
The utility rates and 2022 fee schedule were approved by the City Council at their meeting on December 6, 2021.
