RATE INCREASE MAY BE NEEDED FOR NEILLSVILLE UTILITIES

Neillsville water and sewer rates could be going up later this year.
The Commission on Public Works and Utilities may elect to authorize a study of possible rate increase Tuesday night.
City Clerk/Treasurer Rex Roehl says the utilities are supposed to be self-funded, but ran over $324,000 in the red last year.
Sewer rates were last increased in 2007; water rates were last increased in 2005.
Roehl says city residents and businesses have cut back on water usage, causing the deficit.
The soonest a rate hike could be implemented is the 4th quarter of this year.
