Sewer users in Coldstream will have a hike in the coming year despite opposition from Councillor Gyula Kiss. Mayor Jim Garlick tells KISS FM, "Councillor Kiss was wanting to see
more of a user pay rate than what we have, but it was sort of done at
the last moment." Garlick says the majority of council felt they needed to stay with
the current structure for a while, noting three changes in rates and
structure the last few years. The new basic rate will see users paying 94 dollars per quarter for
the basic rate (10 cubic meters consumption), an increase of five
dollars or six percent, which includes 20 cubic meters free, and then a
surcharge for use above that. For 30 CM, it will cost $131.75, up $8.26 quarter. At the high end, users of 110 CM will pay $332.55 per quarter, an increase of $24.26.
