Water rate plan cuts costs for mid range usage
City officials propose a tiered water rate to encourage lawn and garden irrigation. The plan keeps 2,000 gallon and 3,000 gallon minimums while moving 3,001 to 6,000 gallons to a $7.70 bracket, raising some users above current costs. Larger brackets follow with $13.80 for 6,001 to 10,000 gallons. A four month summer plan would cost the city about $15,000 less in year one but may grow later as demand rises.
