Rangeley Sewer Commission closes rate-increase hearing after presenting proposed increases
Summary
The Rangeley Sewer Commission closed a public hearing after presenting a proposed rate package that would raise the flat rate from $50 to $55, increase the user charge to $8.50 per 100 cubic feet (from $8), and apply 3% annual increases thereafter; no members of the public spoke.
The Rangeley Sewer Commission presented a proposed rate package and closed a public hearing after no members of the public spoke.
The commission said the proposal, based on a fiscal sustainability plan and a rate study by Wright-Pierce, would raise the flat rate from $50 to $55 and increase the user charge from $8.00 to $8.50 per 100 cubic feet. The commission also proposed an annual 3% increase after the initial adjustment to maintain fiscal sustainability. Commissioners said public hearings on the proposal were set for April 8 and May 13.
Commission members recorded that no one spoke during the public hearing and the chair closed the hearing at 5:03 p.m. The presentation and closing were part of the commission’s regular meeting; commissioners did not take further action on the rate proposal at that session.
The rate study and fiscal sustainability plan were cited as the basis for the change; neither a final vote nor an effective date for any change was announced during the meeting.
