From The Crested Butte News (Mark Reaman):
The Town Council agreed to a rate increase for both water bills and sewer bills. Look for a 10 percent increase in the water bill and a 3 percent increase in the wastewater side of the equation. The final decision will come when the council adopts the 2011 budget…
“We are proposing increases for the water the sewer, the tap fees and the availability fees,” [Town finance director Lois Rozman] said. “If we don’t do a rate increase we’ll have an operating loss of $110,000 for water and $26,000 for sewer.” Rozman said times have changed. “In the past, we’ve lived on tap fees,” she said. “We knew we couldn’t do that forever and we are now at that time when new taps don’t bring in enough money anymore.”
