During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a significant fee increase imposed by the vendor, TFC, which is expected to impact residents directly. The increase comes in the middle of the fiscal year, a departure from the typical alignment of contracts with the fiscal calendar.

Officials noted that while the operating budget generally has sufficient funds to accommodate various increases—such as those related to fuel, technology, and equipment—this particular fee hike is notable. It will be passed through to customers, necessitating an adjustment in rates for residents who receive trash collection and recycling services.

This mandatory fee will affect every account holder with a water bill, highlighting the broader implications for the community as they navigate the financial adjustments required by this unexpected increase.
