The citizens and business owners have been subjected to water and sewer rate increases each and every year since 2016, up over twenty-five percent since then! The raise in rates has not equated to any improvement of service, simply a hike for the sake of hiking. The raise in water and sewer rates is causing local businesses like ours to adjust our operating model to include the prospect of raising prices that we lowered in 2016. We are petitioning the City of Evart to lower water and sewer rates to 2017 levels! Do not allow the city of Evart to raise water and sewer rates in the cover of darkness as they have over the last three calendar years. Please help us in our cause by e-signing our petition.
Updates
April 8, 2020
The feedback from local business owners reflects the strain these recurring rate increases place on our community. We are currently preparing documentation to formally address the city council regarding the lack of service improvements despite these consistent hikes.

The momentum generated by this petition demonstrates a shared commitment to fiscal accountability within our community. It is clear that the current trajectory of utility costs is unsustainable for our local businesses and residents.

It's ridiculous we have to pay over $100 a month for water when ice mountain can pump as much as they want for $200 a year
I believe the evart water needs to be lowered this outrageous price is unreal and a lot of people are on a low income and with the virus many people who was working are now laid off and dealing with a lot of steess
Constantly going up! No reasoning for it.
I believe the water rates should definitely be lowered. A lot of surrounding areas have low rates.
Be nice if they do but sure they wont.
Happy to sign. Many other things could be done as well.
Ice mountain should have paid for the water going up not citizens or local businesses
