BIRMINGHAM - AL -

Another study is underway in preparation for next month's sewer rate forum.  A sewer rate expert is comparing the county's system with similar ones.  He'll talk to sewer users about what they think would be a fair rate increase at a forum, on July 24th at the Bessemer Civic Center.  Commissioners hope people will come out.  No sewer rate increase is currently on the table.  But an increase and fees for non-users are possible.
