City mulls increase to water, wastewater fees

Water and sewer rates in Mountain Home could increase soon by 4 percent each after the city council took a preliminary vote in favor of raising the fees during a public meeting Aug. 25.

According to city clerk Nina Patterson, the revised water rates would increase from $16.10 to $16.75 for the first 5,000 gallons customers use each month. The charge for those using more than 5,000 gallons per month would climb from 96 cents to $1 for each additional 1,000 gallons that people use.
