The Bremen Town Council may be raising the fire protection service rate on utility bills to take effect in 2018.
Director of Operations Trend Weldy said the rate increase will occur over three years.
“It’s a small increase,” stressed Weldy. “It will increase $1.10 a month starting in 2018, another $1.10 a month increase in 2019 and it’ll raise again $1.10 in 2020 to get up to where we need to be on our fire protection program.”
The rate increase was presented in the form of a water rate ordinance before the town council this week. It was approved on first reading. A public hearing on the rate increase is set for Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Bremen Town Hall.
