FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- MARCH 6, 2008
JEFFERSON CITY—Stoddard County Sewer Company, Inc. (Stoddard County), R.D. Sewer Co., L.L.C. (R.D.

Residential customers currently pay $11.40 a month for sewer service. That rate has been in effect since May of 1983. As part of this application, R.D. Sewer seeks interim rate relief which would increase that flat monthly sewer bill to $22.80.
