Sewer Rates Rise Under River Plant Contention
The city faces sewer rate hikes as two treatment plants serve the Missouri and Mississippi rivers with most areas relying on a single facility. Officials cite federal and state clean water rules and compliance programs from 1980, noting St. Charles ahead of many cities in meeting standards. Rates jumped from 22 to 83 cents per 1,000 gallons, with a $2.50 monthly charge. County users pay 4 cents per 1,009. Council orders Public Works to review if the higher rates exceed revenue projections.
