The City Council will discuss a proposal to change the city’s sewer maintenance flat monthly fee to a system based on actual water usage at 7 tonight. The council also will consider whether to increase the flat rate and make it a tax instead. The current monthly rate for residential properties is 50 cents; nonresidential properties pay 50 cents for two toilets and 25 cents for each additional toilet. Churches and schools, which were exempt, would be included in the new fee. Options will be considered in order to provide for future emergencies and repairs.
