Dixon council ponders sewer usage fee increase
Dixon City Council placed on file a proposed hike in the sewer use fee to make the department self-sufficient. Public Property Commissioner Roy Bridgeman said the average monthly city sewer bill would rise about $1.50, boosting revenue to about $180,000 annually and reducing reliance on sales tax transfers to the Sewage Treatment Plant budget. The plan would raise industrial rates, simplify billing, and set minimum city charges starting May 1 if adopted at the March 20 meeting.
