MEDFORD, Ore. -- The Medford Public Works Department is looking at how much it costs the city to provide utility services.
The Public Works Department wants to charge flat sewage rates of about $15 dollars for single family homes.
Public Works Director Cory Crebbin said the goal is to charge customers the same amount it costs the city to provide the services.
"Because we have had a lot of complaints from our customers who think our rates are not fair. And I think they could be more fair," he said.
The changes will affect customers differently, Crebbin said, but for more people their utility bill will go down.
The City will loose about $100,000 from what they get from current rates, but council members say it will not affect city services.
Council members will make a decision on the proposal later this year.
If it is approved, the changes will begin in 2013.
