Bingen residents will see an uptick in their water and sewer rates in 2020. The City’s new budget calls for a ten percent increase in water rates and five percent in sewer rates. Bingen Mayor Betty Barnes says the water rate increase reflects work that continues on their municipal system, including replacement of the city’s water reservoir, and line replacement will be done on Humboldt Street to coincide with street repairs. Work on both projects is planned to take place during 2020.
