COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) -Some Lowndes County residents will pay more for their sewage services.Rates for the 120 customers of Ridgeland Waste Disposal will be going up four dollars a month, taking the bill from 16.50 to 20.50 a month. Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley held a public hearing about the proposal at the Lowndes County Courthouse. The Ridgeland owner reported that an emergency break, and a loan to repair it required the increase. Presley approved the hike, and says the commission will review this case in five years, once the loan is paid.
