KU sewage cost to rise 290%

The sewage rates paid by the University of Kansas will increase $22,320 a year, Keith L. Nitcher, vice chancellor for business affairs, said yesterday.
Sewage rates will increase for KU, local industries and private homes, Charles Baker, director of utilities for the city, said. Lawrence universities approved last summer an employment proposal to increase KU rates 290 per cent and residential rates 60 per cent.
The increase will help cover the city's share of the cost of a new sewage treatment plant required by the 1972 Federal Clean Water Act. Baker said.
The city notified the University well in advance of the increase, Nitcher said, so KU could include the increase in the fiscal 1975 budget request. Nitcher said the rate would increase from $650 a month to $1,860 a month.
