Hobart residents could face sewage fee increase

The Hobart Sanitary Board is holding a 5 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall to hear citizen feedback on a proposed wastewater fee increase. If the board approves the rate increase, estimated to average about $3 a month, the city council would then consider the measure. Mayor Josh Huddlestun said Monday the city needs the additional revenue to keep its sanitary district solvent and remain in state compliance.
