Local and national weather forecasts are calling for extended—and at times heavy—rain to occur late Thursday through late Saturday, with somewhere between 3 – 4 inches of rain falling on our area. If you live in a low-lying area that typically floods, please continue to monitor the weather forecast.
City Departments have worked hard to remove leaves and other debris from city streets and storm drains. However, the City is requesting the help of residents and business owners to check storm drains in front of their homes and business to remove any debris they see. By keeping storm drains clear, stormwater runoff can flow off of the road and prevent flooding issues.
On March 20, 2018 the Goshen City Council approved changes to the water and sewer rates and charges (per ordinances 4939 and 4940). This year, the monthly usage charge has been increased as follows:
Cubic feet of water supplied
Rate per 100 cubic feet
First 3,000 cubic feet
$2.53
Next 97,000 cubic feet
$2.17
Over 100,000 cubic feet
$1.28
The Council also approved changes to sewer-rate charges. This year the monthly usage charge has been increased to $6.66 per 100 cubic feet. Monthly service charges, which include administrative fees, fire protection charges and maintenance of meters, also have changed this year. Both water and sewer rate charges will be slightly increased each year until 2022.
