Barlow proposes lower sewer bills for some city residents

City of Oswego Mayor Billy Barlow proposed a $50 reduction to the sewer bill for flat-rate users. According to the mayor’s office, if approved, flat rate users would see their sewer bill decrease a total of $350 over the past five years.
“Further reducing the sewer bill for flat rate users is a well-deserved give-back to city residents who have paid too much in sewer fees due to the failures of previous administrations,” said Mayor Barlow, in a press release. “The work our wastewater department, economic development department, and smart budgeting and strategic thinking has allowed for two previous rate decreases and we are happy to continue that trend by further relieving residents with this proposed decrease.”
The proposed $50 reduction follows two previous annual reductions: a $200 decrease in 2019 and a $100 decrease in 2021.
Tonight at 6:30 p.m., the Administrative Services Committee will vote on the proposal at Oswego City Hall. If it passes, the Common Council will hold a full vote on Monday, September 11th.
