Wellington City Hikes Sewer Trash Fees To Boost Revenue
City Council on February 2 approved higher monthly charges for sewer and trash services while water rates remained unchanged. The move lifts the minimum for water sewer and sanitation to 16.25 from 13.75, with sewer up to five dollars, trash to five dollars, and out-of-city trash users to ten dollars. The city aims to strengthen finances amid a 584,888 budget and a 10 percent city employee raise. The council also funded street lights, new Stop and Yield signs, and joined a legal challenge to a General Telephone rate increase.
