(KLZA)-- The Pawnee City Council approved changes to the city water rates on final reading during their June 14 meeting.
The increase was necessitated by increasing costs from the water bond and the city water tower maintenance agreement.
The water bond has been refinanced lowering the final payout but the payments will increase due to shortening the payoff term.
The rates will increase over a three-year period going from $28 to $29.50 for residential users in year one. Eventually going up to $32.75 in year three.
Pawnee County Sheriff Braden Lang met with the Council, reporting that former Deputy Sheriff Ryan Boverhuis was no longer employed as a Deputy for the County.
Discussion was had again about parking the wrong way, Sheriff Lang said he will start issuing tickets to anyone he sees parked the wrong way on city streets.
