(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Aldermen reviewed water and sewer rates during their October 20 meeting.
The water rate analysis indicated a need to increase rates to support the costs of operation, debt and repair / replacement reserves. A motion passed to allow the current base rates to remain the same for both in-town and out-of-town users but increasing the price per 1,000 gallons to $10.65 for in-town-users and $12.85 per 1,000 gallons for out-of-town users.
In addition, Public Water Supply District wholesale customers minimum charge will be $9,000. The cost will increase to $7 per 1000 gallons for the next 600,000 gallons and the will remain at $6.50 per 1000 gallons in excess of 1.8 million gallons.
The new rates will go into effect January 1, 2023.
The sewer rate analysis indicated the current rates are sufficient to support the costs of operation, debt and reserves.
In other business the Council approved a request to create a no parking zone on the west side of Nebraska Street from 7th thru 9th Street, adjacent to the Mound City School property, during the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Aldermen also decided not to close a section of Paxton Street as requested by Dave Rieger after speaking with surrounding property owners.
