Fort Smith considers sewer rate hike
SUMMARY: Fort Smith city directors are considering a 3.5% sewer rate increase starting in June, set to continue annually for five years. This increase, amounting to a few extra dollars per month for average users, is necessary to fund federally mandated sewer repairs estimated at nearly $645 million. Local dog groomers Kylie Rowe and Adam Robertson express concern over rising utility costs, highlighting the compounding nature of such increases. The city is requesting a ten-year extension from the EPA to manage costs without heavily impacting ratepayers. A public input session starts at 6 PM, followed by the city directors meeting.

The rate would go up by a few dollars a month to pay for required fixes and upgrades.
