Metropolitan Nashville has announced an increase in the rates the City of La Vergne
pays for sewer services beginning December 2010. As a result, of this and other items the
City of La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen have voted to have Municipal Technical
Advisor Service (MTAS) do a rate study prior to considering any rate increases. MTAS
will do the study at no additional cost to the City. Please click the links below to
view information on the Metro Rate Increase.
