Act 605, how it affects Rector and its citizens
City of Rector Water and Sewer rates have come into compliance with Arkansas Act 605 which requires a review and update of these rates once every three years to make certain that cities can meet the water and sewer needs of the public. City of Rector has grappled with the issue for several years and the construction of a new sewer pond stalled because of finances. Neither grants nor loans may be approved if the city is not being responsible for meeting city needs with appropriate water rates.
