Dakota City approves $1 water bill hike for landfill costs
Dakota City residents will pay an additional $1 monthly on water bills starting September to fund Humboldt County Landfill operations. The unanimous council vote cited lower revenue sharing and rising disposal costs as drivers. Mayor Cartwright noted last two years’ costs of $86,704 for city share in 1981 and $4,556 for six months this year, with replacement landfill costs projected at $120,000 versus current $100,000. Council members debated economy impacts but opted for phased small increases rather than a large future rise. The council also approved hiring Myron Barnes as a full time city employee.
