The new line installed on 110th is now in use and the customers in that area are now on the new line. The only thing left to do is clean up and plant grass. Weather permitting the ground will be prepared for the planting of grass in the spring of 2025.

Work has begun on the line improvement on 110th road from S road to U4. The existing line will be replaced with 6" and 8" lines as a part of the district's long range improvement plan. While work is being done there is a possibility those who are in this area may be without water periodically thru out the project which weather permitting may take 60 to 80 working days.

After reviewing the water rates and minimum charges with the district engineer, and taking into account the rate increases by the district wholesale water suppliers and inflation, the Jackson County RWD #1 board voted to increase the residential water rate from $7.87/1000 gallons to $8.25/1000 gallons. They also voted to increase the minimum rates by 5%. The residential minimum rate will now be $27.43 for those residents not in the expansion area. The minimum rate for the expansion area will be $40.91. These rates are effective with the May 2024 bill.
