The City's sewer system extends from the Bridge of the Gods on the west edge of town, east to the Port Industrial Park at the east end of town on Forest Lane.

The Treatment Plant is located on Herman Creek Lane just off of Forest Lane near the river. A new sewer plant was completed in October 1998 with sufficient capacity to allow both residential and industrial growth for years to come. Currently the sewer rate for residental users is $42.50 for water usuage up to 10,000 gallons.

Usage over 10,000 is $7.45 per thousand gallons used. A reduced rate, one-half the monthly fee, is available for low-income senior citizens, 65 years of age or older. Application forms for this discount are based on annual income as well as age. They are available at City Hall and must be renewed each year in June.

Customers who are developing property for new residential use will pay an installation fee which must be paid prior to the work being started. The City's Public Works Superintendent is available to discuss your project.
