👉 Find the study and more information at www.rawlinswy.gov/rateinput
💲 If approved, for the average home on City Water, the bill would increase by approximately $20/month. By national standards, this would still be considered affordable.
🗣The Water Rate Public Hearing during this Tuesday's council meeting at 7:30 is dedicated to public comments and questions.
🚧 Our state grant and loan agencies have said that a rate increase is required to receive funds. Without additional funds, we cannot repair our infrastructure or run the pre-treatment plant.
