The council voted 4–0 in August to add a sewer treatment facility fee tied to meter size, estimated at $19.98 a month for a typical 1-inch connection, to cover Lindon's share of upgrades at Orem's wastewater plant. The council adopted the schedule as proposed after staff advised deferring part of the change.
