The city has spent over $26 million to this point. The proposed wastewater treatment plant and storage facility are estimated to cost $121 million.
Ratepayers will pay for the improvements unless state and federal funding assistance is secured. Without outside funding assistance, we expect sewer rates to almost triple over the next five years. An average resident using 3000 gallons a month can expect their wastewater bill to go from $27.37 per month to $92.37 in 2028.
