Sewer Rates Problematic In West Unity

In West Unity, the sewer rates were dis­cussed at last Thursday’s coun­cil meet­ing.

An audit that was done recently for 2012–13, showed a deficit spend­ing for the village’s sewer plant oper­a­tion, and coun­cil learned last week that cur­rent sewer rate income will not meet loan oblig­a­tions.

Good news for the vil­lage though, was the fact that there is a sched­uled rate increase in Jan­u­ary for sewer and water, which will go a long way toward mak­ing ends meet. The finance com­mit­tee will go over all the details and options at the next sched­uled meet­ing, which is set for 6:30 p.m, July 24th.
