Residents to keep sewer rates when they relocate
Holcomb residents moving to a new home will retain their established sewer rates rather than be treated as new customers. The council agreed this fairness measure, pending revision of the sewer-rate ordinance by City Attorney Bill Heydman. The council also accepted City Superintendent Perry Smith's resignation, effective Oct. 9. Mayor Jannelle Robins-Gaede said Smith will be greatly missed and did not comment on his next employer.
