The Pierre City Commission considered a water rate change during last night’s (Tues.) meeting. The recommended rate change is the result of the Water Treatment Facility project approved by voters last summer.
If approved at next week’s meeting, the rates will increase by an average of $3.55 per month, per residential customer. The actual increase depends on individual water use. To help finance the $37-million water treatment facility, the Commission intends to increase water rates annually through 2023.
