Activities include supplying the flower baskets on Main Street, planting various things in the city parks and providing a scholarship to a local high school graduate. The sewer rates for Heppner residents will increase by $3.10 per “R” factor beginning July 1, 2002. The rate increase was necessary to provide for adequate maintenance, repairs and rehabilitation of the sewer system according to Public Works Director, Craig Canham. Last year repairs to the wastewater treatment facility depleted the sewer maintenance and reserve funds. The revenue to the system New refrigerator for fairgrounds needs to be adequate to address the needs of the system, reported Canham to the City Council at their budget meeting June 10. The Budget Committee on May 14 had recommended the increase to allow for proper maintenance and improvements to the sewer system. The rate increase will raise the sewer rate from $18.00 per “R” factor to $21.10. An “R” factor is the equivalent to the usage of one detached single family residence.
