Discount Rate on Logan City Water Accounts Is Ordered Reduced
Logan announces a reduction in the prompt payment discount for water accounts from 15 percent to 5 percent due to rising operation costs. The standard meter rate remains, and the new discount applies to bills due April 1 with a five percent reduction if paid by April 15. Increased coal, labor, and equipment upkeep drove the change, along with salary increases for pumping engineers and staff.
