City officials are currently receiving re-ceiving complaints from some home owners of Pleasant Grove respecting respect-ing "high" water and sewer bills. Mayor Roberts stated that a complete com-plete survey had recently been made of sewer and water rates in the other cities of North Utah County. The Pleasant Grove minimum mini-mum monthly water rate of $1.00 is the lowest of any northend city, the survey revealed. American Fork has a minimum monthly water wat-er rate of $1.50 and Orem charges a $3.00 month minimum. Sewer rates in Orem are $3.00 per month and American Pork charges $2.25. The monthly sewer rate here is $2.50, just 25 cents more than the lowest rate charged in North Utah County. "We do not feel that the rates charged in Pleasant Grove for water wat-er and sewer service are out of line; and they cannot be lowered consistently with the type of service ser-vice we are now providing," the Mayor concluded. |
