FEE INCREASES EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2021: City council approved a base water rate decrease of $5 from $45 to $40 per month and an increase of $0.01 from $0.95 to $0.96 per thousand gallons of usage per month, a base sewer rate increase of $5 from $17.97 to $22.97 per month and an increase of $0.04 from $3.43 $3.47 per thousand gallons of usage per month. These are separate accounts and we need to build up the reserve in the sewer fund for upcoming improvements with the line from Sugar City to Rexburg. There is also a 1.3% increase to the garbage rate which raises the residential can rate $0.20 from $15.10 to $15.30. Residents will notice the increase in their November utility bills for October.
TREES & BUSHES: Please have trees and bushes trimmed back from the alleys and roads. Tree branches must be trimmed up from the ground to a height of 12 feet. Bushes along roads must be trimmed down to a height of no more than 3 feet.
SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: As you have your sprinkler systems taken care of for the winter months please remember that if you didn’t have a test on your sprinkler system backflow preventer done last year, please have one done and send your report to city hall. This is necessary to ensure that contamination of the water supply will not happen in the event of a pressure loss to the water system. Thank you to those that have already brought in test results.
NO DUMPING OF YARD WASTE OR ITEMS IN CITY: Dumping at the end of streets or in alleys is not allowed. City Code 3-1-8: “Responsibility for Disposal: A: Owners: No person shall deposit refuse on or below the surface of the ground other than in a manner prescribed in this chapter. No person shall deposit or bury any refuse in or upon a public alley, street, other public area or upon the premises of another person, whether or not the refuse is in an approved container. No refuse of any kind shall be thrown, swept or pushed into the street in front of any premises. The owner of the premises shall be responsible for the disposal of all such refuse.” Please remove any items or waste from public alleys to avoid health and safety hazards and possible citations.
