36 Percent Sewer Rate Hike Planned in Elyria
Elyria residents face a 36 percent sewer rate increase under a plan from earlier this year. A typical user using 600 cubic feet monthly would pay about $1 more, with rates rising from 88 cents to $1.20 per 100 cubic feet after the first 300. The initial 300 cubic feet remain $2. Councilman Ernest Brewer urged a three month delay to seek alternative financing for sewage plant improvements, citing financial strain on the elderly and unemployed. The proposal was sent to the finance committee.
