Clinton holds steady on water, sewer rates
There will be no water or sewer rate changes for the city of Clinton this year.
City Council member Rob Herrell gave that update at the Aug. 25 council meeting.
Also, Herrell said some people may pay less on sewer bills than before, because of a change in calculation.
Clinton Utilities Board users never pay a higher rate in the summer for sewer services than the highest rate during winter months.
This is a way to avoid messing up calculations for things like sprinklers, which use water from the water system but do not go back into the wastewater system.
Previously the “summer” period, Herrell said, was May through October, but it’s extended one month to make it through November.
“So, you have an extra month to water your yard and et cetera,” Herrell said.
