Proposed Manual of Fees

Summary

Sewer rates would jump 8% and solid waste $1.50, adding about $5.96 to a typical 7,300-gallon monthly bill. The city manager said the increase is half of what was originally planned because he held off on hiring 5–8 extra utility workers. Residents pay the same rates; most new fees hit non-residents and developers.
