(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Aldermen conducted public hearings during the October meeting concerning water and sewer rates.
A sewer rate analysis indicated the current rates are insufficient to support the cost of operation dept and repair. The Council approved an increase in the base rate by two-cents to $6.30 and leave the unit cost at $5.08 per 1,000 gallons.
The water analysis also indicated a need to increase the rates to support the department. Aldermen approved increasing the base rate to $6.84 and $8.83 per 1,000 gallons for in-town users the base rate for out-of-town users to $10.53 and $11.05 per 1,000 gallons of water used.
The increases will take effect January 1, 2020.
In other business Jeff Arp with MIRMA presented a grant for the Mound City Sewer Department of up to $6,500 for the purchase of a sewer camera.
Midwest Data representative Jeremy Davis reported the installation of fiber optic to the homes in Mound City will take around 20 months to complete.
