Shen water, sewer rate hikes pass first reading
(Shenandoah) -- Future increases in Shenandoah's water and sewer and rates cleared the first hurdle Tuesday night. By unanimous votes, the Shenandoah City Council approved the first reading of amendments to the city's water and sewer ordinances for the 2027-29 fiscal years. Under the amendments, the city's water rates would increase by 1.5% each year--similar to the three-year hike approved by the council in June of last year. The city's sewer rates, meanwhile, would rise by 30%--mainly because of construction of the city's wastewater treatment plant's expansion and renovation project. Speaking on KMA's "Morning Line" program Wednesday morning, Shenandoah Mayor Roger McQueen says he was surprised that no one spoke on the proposed amendments during the public hearings.
