Sewer Rate Schedule
In order to more equitably distribute the financial responsibility of operating the sewer system, the Town of Lyman has recently adopted a new rate structure for sewer billing. This rate structure includes an "in-town" and "out-of-town" rate. The in-town or inside rate will apply to anyone inside the corporate limits of the Town of Lyman. The outside rate will apply to everyone else, with the exception of the community of Startex.
