Don Billig of the East Koochiching Sanitary Sewer District says an increase of $34.50 every three months helps offset its costs towards the new sewage plant being built by the North Koochiching Sanitary District.
Billig says the rate could flucuate based on flows over the next 30 years.
The extra charge will be seen on users bill in the second quarter of 2013.
