Clearwater trustees approve utility deposit

Individuals applying for a new utility account - including water, sewer or trash service - furnished by the Village of Clearwater will be required to pay a $150 deposit.

Village trustees approved the deposit fee and signed Ordinance 2023-6 to that effect when they met in regular session, Aug. 14.

According to the resolution, the deposit shall be refunded upon termination of service only after payment of all outstanding balances due to the village. The deposit may be applied to the amount due for prior utility services.

Sewer rates will also increase, following the passage of Ordinance 2023-7....
