The company handling the processing of sewer bills for Chattanooga, Rossville and the Hamilton County Water and Wastewater Treatment Authority has made some concessions with pricing.

A news release sent out by Chattanooga said customers won’t be billed a $3 fee for echecks or a $3-per-month fee for recurring echecks. However, a variety of other processing fees will remain.

Chattanooga Public Works Administrator Steve Leach said Chattanooga, Rossville and Hamilton County WWTA spoke with a consulting firm that acted as a go-between with California-based Enco Utility Services, the company providing the billing services.

“I think we achieved what we wanted to do,” Leach said.
