Vinton plant warns of closing over wastewater rates
Vinton city officials heard from the Dubuque Packing Co. that proposed sewer operation costs could force the plant to either use its own treatment facilities or close when the city’s new plant opens. Green Engineering estimates an annual cost of 135,120, but the company says 60,000 is the maximum it will pay. The council took no action to change rates. Dubuque Packing employs about two million dollars in payroll in Vinton.
