The City’s Water & Sewer Utility has experienced increased costs related to a $180,000 Dollar Water Capital Improvements Project, by completely repairing & refurbishing the City’s only Elevated Tank, constructed in the Eighties (80’s), and a Ground Storage Tank, constructed in the Nineties (90’s). The last time either was repaired was more than 10+ years ago, and it goes without saying, both tanks in constant contact with water do not improve with age. Also, cost to replace the tanks would cost more than $1,000,000 Dollars. Please know that we will continue to provide quality service at the least possible cost. If you have any questions regarding this rate change, please contact City Hall at 903.583.7710.
