The City of Clinton is reminding of the coming increase you'll see on your water bills.

Regional Radio brought you this story in October. DeWitt County Sanitation District is undergoing a roughly $14-million renovation and City of Clinton officials are reminding that will soon result in your water bills being more expensive.

That's City Administrator Taylor Baxter who reminds this is not an initiative of the Clinton Water Department, however, they are the ones that have to end up billing for this increase.

The upgrades to the Sanitation District's facility were a mandate from the EPA and were largely unexpected, therefore, the Sanitation District could not save money over time to make sure they did not burden water users with the cost. 

Once complete, the sanitation operations will run much more efficiently and will better filter the City's water.
