Council approves first reading to raise water and wastewater improvement fees
Summary
On first reading the council approved Ordinance No. 1095 to increase the wastewater system improvement fee by $6.32 to $28.00 and raise the water improvement fee from $1 to $5, reflecting treatment and construction cost increases.
Council approved on first reading Ordinance No. 1095, which amends the fee schedule to increase the wastewater system improvement fee by $6.32 to $28.00 to reflect new wastewater treatment plant construction costs, and to raise the water improvement fee from $1 to $5 because of increased treatment costs from the City of Lubbock. Michael Stueart moved approval and Bill Powell seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
The ordinance was presented as a first reading; the minutes do not record a public hearing or additional amendments at this meeting. The changes were described in the staff explanation as tied to capital and treatment cost increases rather than an across-the-board rate restructure.
