LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Residents of a northern Utah valley can expect 10 percent increases to their sewer utility rates for the next five years.
The Herald-Journal reports that the rate increases for the Cache Valley were approved Monday by the Regional Wastewater Treatment Rate Committee which oversees wastewater from Logan, Smithfield, Hyde Park, North Logan, Providence, River Heights and Nibley. Officials say the increase will fund a new mechanical wastewater treatment facility.
The Environmental Protection Agency is requiring that Logan process its wastewater through a mechanical treatment based on phosphorous and nitrogen. The EPA expects the new $116 million plant to be completed by 2020.
The first 10 percent increase will go in effect July 1.
