Audit finds no justification for Woodcreek rate hike
City on-site audit by James Jansen finds Woodcreek Utilities' proposed 39.4 percent sewer and 22 percent water rate increases unjustified. Interim rate remains. bills see a $5 increase in the returned check fee to $20 and transfer fee up from $10 to $15. Auditor cites unsubstantiated salary increases, pump adjustments, and $11,000 in unsupported expenses. Jansen seeks amortization of certain costs. water loss reported at 31 percent raises council concerns.
