Sanitary Board to Tell Court Present Sewer Rates Are Necessary
Beckley Sanitary Board attorneys will file a demurrer and answer next Wednesday in the state supreme court contesting petitions for sewer rate reductions. The board argues a $31,500 annual revenue suffices after a June bold 10 percent prompt-pay discount, with a $20,000 expense baseline and a $50,000 filter-system need for future purification. A surplus of about $1,500 yearly is argued as essential for emergencies and plant expansion, including potential underground damage from coal seams. The filing also addresses magistrate-court jurisdiction over delinquent sewer charges and tenant collection questions, with a Charleston appearance planned for the filing.
