On June 1, 2022, the City of Glenn Heights entered into a contract with CWD for waste removal and recycling services. The initial term of the contract is for five (5) years. Should the City terminate the contract before the end of the term, it would be financially responsible for the remaining amortized value of all the equipment purchased on its behalf (currently valued at over $1 million). Therefore, the measure to switch would be cost-prohibitive.
* Per the contractual agreement, CWD's annual rate adjustment, based on the following criteria, went into effect June 1, 2023: - Consumer price index change (March 22’ – March 23’) - Natural gas cost changes - Disposal Fee cost changes The Solid waste charge went from $15.11 to $15.97. This rate, pending Council action, may vary.
During the May 16, 2023, City Council Meeting, Council expressed their displeasure regarding CWD’s service level to CWD President Greg Roemer. Council also requested if the quality of the service levels could be enhanced – Mr. Roemer agreed that they could, but not without additional costs.
