Byron council approves updated sewer rates after Macon Water Authority increase
Summary
Council approved updated sewer rates after the Macon Water Authority raised its rates; the motion was made by Chris Hodges and seconded by Michael Chumbley and recorded as approved by the council during the Jan. 21 special session.
The Byron Mayor and Council voted on Jan. 21 to update the city sewer rates after the Macon Water Authority (MWA) increased its wholesale charges.

The minutes record the vote as approved; no change to the effective date or new rate schedule details were specified in the text of the minutes. Council did not attach additional conditions in the meeting record; staff follow-up on implementation was not detailed in the minutes.
