As previously discussed on this blog during the proposal phase, Webb City has now approved increases in their sewer rates to help cover costs associated with upgrades being required by the MoDOR and the EPA. This approved increase will raise the the monthly household sewer bill from an average of $20.60 to more than $27, according to City Administrator Steve Garrett quote in today's Joplin Globe. Neosho recently saw similar increases in their sewer rates as part of voter-approved sewer improvements passed in August of 2008.
According to a Neosho Daily News article from April, Neosho's users would be charged a minimum of $6.23 a month plus a unit charge of $3.32 per 1,000 gallons of water discharged. Under another ordinance approved on first reading Tuesday, rates for 3,000 gallons will increase from $10.19 to $16.20, while rates for 5,000 gallons will go up from $13.33 to $22.84.
