Notification of Rate Adjustment

Date: 02-28-25

Dear City of Arthur Residents and Businesses

We hope this message finds you well. We would like to inform you that effective 03/01/2025, we will be adjusting our rates for Water, Garbage, Storm Sewer, and the Force Main Replacement.  This adjustment reflects inflation price adjustments for Water supply from Cass Rural Water and Garbage & Recycling services provided by Countrywide Sanitation. Our current Force Main, which serves as the main line from the sanitary lift station to the lagoons, has far exceeded its life expectancy and is wore out. The project should be completed in approximately 6-8 weeks’ timeframe. The Storm Sewer will be paid in full soon and we will be removing the $8 monthly fee from the bill. 

 

Our Current bill is currently broken down as follows: 

 

• Water: $24.00/ 3,000 Gallons 

• Garbage: $30.00 (Garbage and Recycling) 

• Sewer: $18.00

• H20 replacement: $45.00

• Storm Sewer: $8.00 

  • Minium billing total: $125.00 

New Bill as of 3/28/2025 will show as follows:

            ** This bill is not due until 4/20/2025. 

 

• Water: $26.00/ 3,000 Gallons 

• Garbage: $32.00 (Garbage and Recycling) 

• Sewer: $18.00

• H20 replacement: $45.00

• Storm Sewer: $0.00

• Force Main Replacement: $14.00      

  • Minium billing total: $135.00 

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this adjustment, please contact your mayor and or Council Members or contact the city office at 701-967-8327.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely your Elected Officials.
