Waste water rates are going up next month for Big Rapids homeowners and businesses.
The rate increases were approved during the Big Rapids City Commission meeting last night.
Starting July first, sewer users will be charged $7 per 1,000 gallons of use, which is around a $4 increase for homes or businesses with a 5/8-inch meter.
Users previously were charged $6.27 per 1,000 gallons of use.
