Danville City Council OKs billing contract with sanitary district

DANVILLE – After months of study, the city of Danville has officially decided to hand over its sewer and garbage billing to the Danville Sanitary District, beginning Jan. 1.

Next, city officials will determine what each household will be charged for sewer service, because the switch means residents will pay a flat rate after Jan. 1 rather than a charge based on consumption. Commercial accounts will continue to be consumption based.
