"Our effort was to keep it pretty much as it has been." The Rates Water rates for a one-family house had been $6 per year, but were increased to $10.50 this year. Under the old schedule, sewer rates for a one-family house were $6. The proposed rate change adopted Wednesday will increase it to $6.30. The new water rates, after the 75 per cent hike, are $10.50 for an apartment and $3.50 for each water facility including sink, toilet, bathtub, lavatory, shower, hose connection and sewer rates will be $8.30 for an apartment and $2.10 for each additional water-using facility that drains into the sewer system. Water rates are $17.50 for each beauty parlor, public garage, bar, restaurant and soda fountain.
