From Monday’s Joplin Globe:
WEBB CITY, Mo. — The City Council tonight will consider an increase of about 12 percent in residents’ water rates.
City officials say the increase is necessary to cover the city’s costs and expenses associated with water service. If approved, the new rates would be effective immediately.
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 would pay $35.64 under the proposed fee structure.
City water customers who live outside the city limits would pay $53.46 per month for 6,000 gallons of water, up from the current average monthly charge of $48.
The council gave first-round approval of the new rates at its June 28 meeting, with Councilman Ray Edwards dissenting, according to the minutes.
