We are required, as a council, to consider a new water rate structure by the Utah State Drinking Water Board because of our water improvements project, said Doran Kay, city council member. He said, for the past several months, the council has been attempting to come to agreement on the rate schedule and had achieved that goal. The council discussed the issue at a recent work meeting and hammered out a consensus of opinion on the rate structure they adopted. The town council said that water rates and fees need to be raised to cover sufficient funds to pay for debt service, operation, and maintenance of the water system, he said. "The rate structure is, basically, the same, said Kay. "The only readings made during the year. extra month when a reading is made. Even with the reading, being done for the first time at the end of September, the money being raised in order to meet water improvement project needs is still a concern.

If we have a building, for example, and do not meet the goal number we will not get enough to repay the debt. In such case, agreed council members, the council will need to raise the rates.
