The Knox Board of Public Works discussed raising water tap fees during their meeting last week.
Knox Water Department Superintendent Tim Lindewald informed the board the cost to set up new water service including tapping and boring has increased exponentially. He requested the board raise water tap fees to help the department in purchasing the materials needed for each job. After several minutes of discussion, it was noted more time would be needed for the board to further discuss the city’s options.
Board member Steve Dodge made a motion to table the discussion. That motion was seconded by board member Jim Collins and passed unanimously by vote. The Knox Board of Public Works plans to discuss this at a future meeting.
