(Milford)– If you’re a customer of the Iowa Great Lakes Sanitary Sewer District chances are you did a double take when you got your latest bill in the mail this week. As we reported previously, the district’s board of trustees last spring approved an increase in sewer rates that took effect July 1st. The flat charge increased from $60 a year to $72 a year while the usage rate went from $1.35 for every 1,000 gallons used to $1.75 per thousand gallons. Campgrounds and RV parks were converted to a flat rate of $250 per unit per year. Iowa Great Lakes Sanitary District Superintendent Steve Anderson says like everyone else, they’re being hit hard by increased costs. And he says the size of their service area adds to that…
The Iowa Great Lakes Sanitary District was established in the 1930’s to stop wastewater from getting into the Iowa Great Lakes.
