The City of Big Rapids is in the middle of restructuring its water and sewer rates to satisfy Michigan Department of Environmental Quality standards. As a result, most customers will see a slight uptick in their monthly water/sewer bills in the near future says City Treasurer Aaron Kuhn.

“The average customer will see their water bill remain at $28.60 for water and increase from $29.40 to $33.40 for waste water.”

The new rate structure was presented to the City Commission at Monday's meeting.
