(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council heard a report Monday night from John Krajewski with JK Energy Consulting on how a proposed 10-year infrastructure improvement plan with a price tag of nearly $32-million would impact utility rates for Falls City Utility customers.
Krajewski has worked with Falls City on rate studies since 2010 and complimented Falls City on looking toward future utility needs and upgrades.
Krajewski presented information on all of the city owned utilities and looked at various avenues to pay for the improvements. He said that even though the costs are high, the benefits may include less costs for operation of utilities.
One of the recommendations is to continue to have small rate increases rather than large one-time increases making the impact on rate payers more palatable.
The Council took no action and will continue to develop a plan on how to move forward with improvements to the cities infrastructure.
