Bonne Terre Water Rates Increase

(Bonne Terre, MO) Bonne Terre residents will be paying more for their water usage soon. Bonne Terre City Administrator, Shawn Kay, says they're looking at a 10% increase in the rates to help with important repairs he's been discussing since their grant application for funding them was turned down.

According to Kay a typical household, with a family of 5, would see about a $2 a month increase. Kay adds the increase isn't official yet. The measure still has to be approved by the city council before it would become official.
