SEWER CHARGE LEVIED
WILLAMINA — Water con-
sumers here will find a $2 sewer
tax charge tacked on for the first
time to their water bills for the
month of July. The city council
wrote this much discussed issue
into law at its regular session
last week.
The charge will go into a “sewer
sinking fund,” purpose of which
is to start a nest egg toward the
final cost of construction of the
sewer system and disposal plant.
The current cost of an edequate
outlay for Sheridan is estimated
tentatively to be about $244,000.
