If you are a public sewer or water customer and live in the City of Des Moines you have only one opportunity to be heard concerning a 16% utility tax to be imposed starting January 1, 2016.
On October 29, 2015 @ 7:00 p.m., at the City Council Chambers located at 21630 11th Avenue South, Des Moines, the Des Moines City Council is expected to take final action on Draft Ordinance 15-173 and Draft Ordinance 15-186 which will create and impose a brand new 16% tax on sewer and water bills. There are other draft ordinances which would increase existing utility taxes on other utilities. If you have an opinion you would like to share with the City Council concerning this brand new tax this is your chance.
