Oshkosh council adopts compromise sewer rate plan
The Oshkosh Common Council voted 5-2 to adopt a sewer rate ordinance setting a $5.62 minimum quarterly charge and 28.7 cents per 100 cubic feet of water use. Disputed votes and a planned advisory referendum for April 3 followed, as Crusius called a noon meeting to weigh the flat 48.8 cent rate against the fixed charge system. Mueller opposed the fixed charge, favoring lower rates for big users, while Crusius and Sitter supported suspending rules and tabling other ordinances.
