St. John considers water, sewer rate increases

ST. JOHN — The town is considering a 30% increase to its water rate and a 10% increase to its sewer rate. 
During a study session Wednesday, the St. John Town Council introduced and discussed the hikes, which will be considered at its regular meeting later this month. 
The discussion comes after the town asked residents to be mindful of their water usage in August after town officials raised concerns over a fast drop in water at one of the town's towers, according to a previous Times report. 
"Our water usage continues to grow, not just in the matter of as the residents grow, our water usage continues to grow, but I think it's growing at an average (of) about 40 million gallons per year, over the last few years," Town Council President Gerald Swets said.
