Water, Sewer District to present alternative fees

The Basin Water and Sewer District plans to discuss four alternatives to the $12 fee being charged for undeveloped lots — a fee that is part of its recently adopted rate structure. 

The four alternatives will be discussed at the Aug. 11 meeting. They are as follows and are provided by the District’s attorney, Nathan Bilyeu.

•Alternative 1: Only charge the $12 user rate on the 55 unimproved properties with curb stops already in place (as the curb stops require regular maintenance). This would require an additional $6.76 be added to the base rate of $48, for a new total base rate of $54.76.
