Decatur bills for sanitation services for 2015

Decatur has sent out bills to businesses that receive commercial sanitation services from the City for 2015. The rates were adopted by the City Commission during a public meeting last month. The base rate for 95-gallon cart collection has changed from $710 last year to $720 this year. The base charge for 3-cubic yard containers has changed from $1,070 last year to $1,080 this year. Fees for containers of other sizes, which make up the majority of accounts, are unchanged in 2015 compared to 2014.  Payment is due by June 1, 2015.
