I don fish or swim in the White River and don’t live in the inner city. How does this rate increase benefit me?
A. The rate increases will fund projects throughout Marion County, not just in the inner city. In addition to our long-term plan to reduce sewer overflows, we must extend sanitary sewers to neighborhoods now on septic systems, upgrade our treatment plants and provide more capacity in our separate sewer system outside the old city limits. Although sewers are sometimes “out-of-sight, out-of-mind,” they are just as important to our city’s future as our roads, bridges and highways.
