Letter From the Mayor - October 6th, 2011
Flatwoods Citizen:
The Flatwoods City Council has voted to increase the sewer rate by 25%, effective with the November bill.
The Greenup County Environmental Commission (sewage processing treatment plant) has changed their rate structure effective July 1, 2011. GCEC processes sewage and infiltration water for five (5) entities: City of Flatwoods, City of Raceland, City of Russell, and Sanitation Districts One & Two.
Instead of a flat rate for everyone, GCEC rates are $1.50 per thousand for every gallon that goes through each entities meter.
The City of Flatwoods bill has increased close to $40,000 for the past three months (July, August, and September). We had an increase of $19,000 for September alone.
The City estimates an additional increase of over $155,000 to GCEC for a total in the neighborhood of $600,000 per year.
With Flatwoods having more customers than the other entitites, we pay the largest portion of the GCEC budget but, each entity pays the same rate ($1.50) per thousand gallons.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Mayor or Council members.
Following is the increase per thousand gallons:
2000 gallons: $3.51 3000 gallons: $5.02 4000 gallons: $6.53
5000 gallons: $8.03 6000 gallons: $9.54 7000 gallons: $11.05
8000 gallons: $12.56
