Summary
The Village of Wallace announced new water, sewer and trash rates: water base $25 plus $0.75 per 1,000 gallons and sewer $8 effective Oct. 1; trash $21 effective Aug. 1. The changes were recorded in the July 15, 2024 board minutes and will affect village utility customers.
The Village of Wallace recorded new utility rates in its July 15 meeting minutes, listing changes that will take effect later this year.
The minutes state the village will increase water and sewer rates effective Oct. 1 and will raise trash rates effective Aug. 1. The water rate structure was listed as a $25.00 base charge plus $0.75 per 1,000 gallons; the sewer charge was listed as $8.00; trash service was listed at $21.00.
The minutes do not attribute the announcement of the rate changes to a specific speaker or show a formal roll-call vote tied to the new rates; they record the schedule and the dollar amounts as part of other business on the July 15 agenda. The board also placed the budget/financial report on file at the meeting.
These changes will affect residential and commercial customers receiving water, sewer or trash service from the village. The minutes do not specify billing notice procedures or how the increases will be phased for multi-unit and commercial accounts.
The board scheduled a budget workshop for Aug. 13, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., before the regular meeting, where budget and rate matters may be revisited or further detailed.
