CITY OF PHILIP UTILITY ACCOUNTS – SEWER RATE INCREASE
Effective on the July 1st billing, city utility accounts with sewer services will see a change to the monthly sewer rates. These were approved following a utility rate study completed by SDARWS which found that the sewer fund has experienced a negative cash flow over the last few years. The new rates also reflect separate residential and commercial/ industrial rates as outlined below. (Last rate increase was in 2017.)
