Water, sewer rates on the rise By JOHN THOMPSON jthompson@TheCitizenNews.com Coweta County's water and sewer customers' rates are on the rise. Last week, the Coweta County Commission approved a revised rate schedule that will keep tares in line with operating expenses. A rate study was performed by Stevenson & Palmer Engineering, Inc., before the rates were increased. Changes in the rates include: Increasing the minimum water rate from $3.35 to $3.85 per thousand gallons. Increasing the rates charged higher water usage tiers by the same amount. Simplifying the sewer rates by charging the same rate, $3.40 per 1,000 gallons for all sewer customers. Changing industrial water and sewer rates to $4.30 per 1,000 gallons. Increasing all residential tap fees to $1,000. What do you think of this story? Click here to send a message to the editor. Back to News Home Page | Back to the top of the page
