Passed by the council on the 10th day of May 2000 and approved by the mayor on the 10th day of 2000. A meeting has been set to meet with IDOT officials regarding details of a sewer connection for the reststop area. City will agree with the 100% sewer rate plus additional 20% surcharge and make no change in the current 100% water rate plus additional 50% surcharge.
