BESSEMER - Residents of Bessemer can expect higher water rates soon. The City Council approved the increase in water rates beginning September 1st, with more hikes in the future plan. The rate hike will help the city do some much-needed work on the city’s water system, including replacing a water main and reservoir tank, and to pay off the 40 year that will allow that work to be done in a timely manner. Businesses can expect a $42 readiness to serve charge each month in addition to the water used. Residences will pay an $84 readiness to serve charge every two months, plus $7.52 per 1,000 gallons used. Again, folks in Bessemer can expect to see that rate change in September.
