Cost of water to the city of Altamont is going up from $0.004 to $0.0045 per gallon, lending to the Altamont City Council discussing the amount of water being purchased versus documented usage prior to signing a contract for 2023. Altamont City Council member Raymond Coffey told the council that Rural Water District No. 4 is checking with all cities to see if towns are wanting to decrease or increase their minimum usage and is looking at changing the maximum amount the city can purchase from three times the amount to two times the amount, which would lower the obligation of what they have to supply to the city. Coffey said that would lower the water district’s obligation of what it has to supply the city.
