Webb City Council Approves Water Rate Increases

From Tuesday’s Joplin Globe:

WEBB CITY, Mo. — Webb City residents will soon see their water rates increase by about 12 percent after approval on Monday night by the City Council.

Using 6,000 gallons per month as an average usage for a household, residents living inside the city limits who currently pay $31.80 per month will pay $35.64 under the new fee structure.

City water customers who live outside the city limits will pay $53.46 per month for 6,000 gallons of water, up from the current average monthly charge of $48.

The new rates will go into effect Aug. 1, meaning that residents will likely see the change reflected on their September water bills, according to officials.

The council approved the new rates with a 7-1 vote, with Councilman Ray Edwards casting the dissenting vote.
