SEWER charges in West St. Paul will nearly double this year for some residents.
Late this week, the Public Utilities Board ordered the 97 customers connected to the River’s Edge Sewer Utility will be billed $676.95 for sewer services, nearly double the $355 they paid last year.
“They were undercharged before,” said Mayor Bruce Henley of the RM of West St. Paul. The new development has grown and the sewer charges required to run the new plant will better reflect actual costs now, he said.
“There were not enough people and it was not operating long enough to get the actual, factual cost of running that plant,” he said.
The municipality has five plants serving different parts of West. St. Paul.
Henley said the 97 customers in River’s Edge will now be paying closer to the mid-range of what others in the municipality are charged.
West St. Paul is working with St. Andrews to develop a major waste-water plant that can one day serve up 3,000 customers, he said.
