The Demorest City Council on June 12 unanimously approved an update to the Water & Sewer Connection Fee Schedule after City Manager Mark Musselwhite said the cost of water meters had increased from $220 to $285 and that the city should pass the added cost along to customers.
Councilman Andrew Ferguson moved to update the fee schedule; Councilman Jimmy Davis seconded the motion, which passed 4-0. Mayor Jerry Harkness presided over the meeting. The transcript records Musselwhite as the presenter of the cost change but does not specify an effective date for the revised fee schedule.
The update follows a staff report that prompted the council to accept the recommendation during the special-called session. The motion was recorded as approved unanimously; the meeting minutes and any formal fee schedule text will be the authoritative source for the effective rates and implementation timeline.
