Summary
County commissioners approved a first reading to raise an annual sewer service fee for unincorporated customers served by the Central Weber Sewer District, passing the measure to a later final reading.
Weber County commissioners held a first reading June 17 of an ordinance that increases the annual sewer service fee for unincorporated areas served by the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District.
"We are increasing our sewer fees to pass along the cost increases that we received from the Central Weber sewer district," said Sean Wilkinson, who presented the ordinance. Wilkinson said the county is increasing its fee by $1.50, raising the charge for affected unincorporated customers from $12.95 to $14.45.
Wilkinson explained that some unincorporated properties pay a higher out-of-district fee because they are not annexed into the Central Weber district. The measure was advanced after the first reading; commissioners voted to proceed without additional amendments at this hearing.
Commissioner Jim Harvey moved to approve the first reading as presented and the chair seconded the motion. The vote was unanimous among commissioners present.
Because this was a first reading, commissioners may consider a final reading or additional adjustments at a later meeting before the change becomes final.
