Utility increases will start in February 2021 for the city of Decatur By Madison Scarpino | January 19, 2021 at 5:17 PM CST - Updated January 19 at 6:46 PM
MORGAN CO., Ala. (WAFF) - Decatur’s City Council passed the access rate increase by a three to one margin.
The increased fees will go toward Decatur Utility’s 10-year-plan to fix the city’s sanitary sewer system. The city’s aging infrastructure has led to sewage overflows for years.
Bills for the average customer will go up by $10 per month this year. Next year, another $6 gets tacked on. And in 2022, $4 more will be added.
