A sewer increase after all!
At our August 18th meeting The board voted 2-2 on a sewer rate increase with the Mayor breaking the tie in favor and thus passing the increase.
Simply put Springfield handles our waste water and of course charges us a fee for the service. Well they have given us a 3.5% increase and it was felt by some that we should pass the increase on to the citizens. I felt with the economy being the way it is and the prices of so many other things skyrocketing this was not the right time to increase rates. This should however for the time being atleast correct the shortfall in the sewer fund we hope.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me I’ll do my best to answer them.
Thanks Stephen.
