The company is now paying back the bond money for the Water Treatment Plant at a lower rate and will save $592,000

Water, Gas, & Light will save over a half-million dollars on the Water Treatment Plant.

The board voted unanimously to refinance bonds on the plant at a meeting Tuesday afternoon. The company is now paying back the money at a lower rate and will save $592,000.

“It’s very beneficial to go ahead and save that money,” said Finance Director John Vansant. “In the grand scheme of things it amounts to probably $1,25, $1.50 per customer per year.”

The board is also looking at options for boosting reserves which Vansant says are at a “dangerously low” level.
