Following the Public Hearing on August 25th, you will notice an adjustment on your September sewer bill. Because Battlefield relies on the City of Springfield’s regional system to process our wastewater, we must adjust our rates to keep up with their increased treatment fees. The City recently completed a thorough wastewater rate study to find the most reasonable path forward. This adjustment allows us to cover these mandatory regional costs and maintain our local system without going into debt.
