City Council approves sewer fee increase
BARSTOW • The City Council voted Tuesday night to move forward with a sewer fee increase, although some councilmembers are considering a more gradual fee increase than was originally suggested.
The suggested fee increase will increase residential rates from $15 a month to $23.50 starting in April, with a $2 increase each year until the rates are $31.50 in 2015. A majority protest was needed in order to stop the fee increase from proceeding, but only about 10 percent of residents had sent in formal letters of protest by the end of the public hearing.
