CitySSM PUC customers will be getting a break on their monthly bills.  Last night city council approved a recommendation that would reduce the sanitary sewer surcharge rate for residential, commercial and industrial customers.  The original recommendation called for a reduced rate from 100% to 70% of the full water rate.  That would result in a savings of about $12 per month or $144 per year for a residential user of 20 cubic metres.  Council went further and approved an amendment which would see more of the benefits passed on to the residential customers and less so to commercial and industrial although they would still see a reduction too. The exact percentages will be determined.
