Water / Sewer Rate Increases
We understand the frustration residents are experiencing as they receive their April utility bills. The City was forced to increase rates to continue operating the water and wastewater systems due to rising costs, and we acknowledge the impact this has on you. The main change you are facing is the update to charge for all usage instead of only over 2,000 or 3,000 gallons.
The rate studies used to determine the rates, which are necessary to cover the costs of running the systems, including Fremont rate increases, ongoing maintenance, and planned water system upgrades, can be viewed online through the link below.
If you have additional questions, please contact the utility clerk at cityoffice@valleyne.org or 402-359-2251, ext 301.
