City of Ila to consider water rate hike Nov. 2 By Margie Richards margie@mainstreetnews.com Ila will hold a public hearing Monday, Nov. 2, at 6:30 p.m. on proposed water rate increases that are scheduled take effect on Jan. 1, 2010. The regular business meeting will follow at 7 p.m. Proposed water rates for 2010 are $18 per house hold (up to 2,000 gallons), up from the $12 base rate currently in place. Ila city council held a called meeting Oct. 14 with city engineer Chris Quigley, of Peeples and Quigley, to discuss the city’s Georgia Environmental Facilities Association (GEFA) loan/grant application for a backup water well for the water system. According to the meeting minutes, there are three loan conditions that GEFA has attached to the city’s loan application. These conditions include generating an additional $23,000 in water revenues beginning fiscal year 2011. Quigley explained that in return, the city will receive a $400,000 loan at zero percent interest pay able over 20 years, with an additional $400,000 in grant money. The council discussed the matter, concluding that it must have a back up well for the city’s water sup ply and discussed ways to generate the additional $23,000 in revenue. The current water system is 27 years old and also needs to be upgraded to meet EPD requirements, board members noted. The 50 percent water rate increase per household will generate approximately $12,500 in additional funds, city clerk Susan Steed said, adding that GEFA has said that funds for the additional $10,500 can be taken from property taxes, if necessary. The council voted to approve the resolution to accept GEFA’s requirements for the grant/loan appli cation and move forward with the project. The council also voted to sign the notice of award to contract with Oconee Well to drill the new well. The Madison County Journal is your source for local news. Call 706-795-2567 to subscribe.
