COLUMBUS — When the city begins their sewer averaging program on Dec. 15 to determine next year’s rates, the council suggested having a sample of the rates from this year to compare the rate change for residents. This topic and several others were addressed at the Dec. 11 regular meeting.
Councilmember Chuck Rankin approached the idea of looking at the rates of the final two months in 2023 to have a record of comparison for the upcoming rate changes in 2024. The process of sewer averaging from Dec. 15 to Feb. 15 will determine what the rates will be in the upcoming year.
City Manager Donald Warschak discussed the current TxDOT projects within city limits during his report. TxDOT continues to make progress on the installation of signal lights at the intersection of Fannin Street and Walnut Street. The contractor assigned the task is planning to finish installing the light by the end of the year despite there being a drainage structure at that location that needs modifications.
