Members of the Reno County Commission agreed Tuesday that rates need to be significantly increased sooner, rather than later, for patrons of the rural Yoder and HABIT sewer districts. What they did not agree on was how quickly that should be or how much rates should rise. Public Works staff have been working for more than a year studying how to address the deteriorating and inadequate Sewer District 201 and 202 systems that serve about 100 residents in the Yoder area. That included asking the city late last year to allow the systems to dump into the city’s sewer plant. “Regardless of where we think, ultimately, we’ll see rates are going to be, it might be time to just increase them to a reasonable rate immediately,” Commissioner Daniel Friesen suggested Tuesday morning.
