Hi Nicole,

Great information to share and for citizens to be aware of. A number of cities are looking at increased sewer fees as teh aging treatment plants need to be updated.

Nicole,

Things we take for granted still cost us and I guess I am not suprised that the fees are increasing.

At least since it included as part of the property tax bill, it can be a deduction on income taxes.

Thanks!
