Winona Lake Considers Building Sewage Plant

Winona Lake Clerk-Treasurer Retha Hicks says the town is thinking about building its own sewage treatment plant – to avoid paying a proposed 60 percent sewage rate increase to the City of Warsaw. Winona Lake officials say the proposed increase is unreasonable, because rates for other big customers of the Warsaw sewage plant would only go up about half as much. Warsaw City Council approved sewer rate increases during its meeting Sept. 18.
