Council approves sewer rate increase

Cliff Williams / The Tribune One of two City of Tallassee sewage treatment lagoons at work Monday. The Tallassee City Council has decided to salvage the lagoons to avoid paying $17 million for a new wastewater treatment facility, $12 million over estimates.

Higher sewer rates will soon be seen on the utility bills for residents and businesses in Tallassee.

The City of Tallassee passed the increase to cover the cost of providing the service in the city.
