City scrap five year rate plan for fixed water increase
City council environmental services committee will drop its five year equalizing water and sewer rate plan in favor of a fixed rate rise through 1977. The change keeps residential water rates for most users the same while small users pay 1.15 per thousand gallons, up from 95 cents. OU officials say the adjusted plan should raise more income for 1975 and 1976 as city and OU study the financial impact.
