Nevada City has detected an error in their sewer bills, and if you are on their system, you’ll have to pay that money back…
City Manager Mark Prestwich says the idea was that those who used less water would pay lower rates, but the city would be guaranteed a certain amount of money with the fixed rate portion. But, the computer messed up…
The error computes to 31 dollars a bill, which went on for four billing cycles. That’s a total of 124 dollars per household. Add all of those households together, and it comes out to 180-thousand dollars. Prestwich says that money is important…
The issue was brought to the City Council last week. They approved a proposal that the money be paid back at five dollars a month over two years.
