Summary
At its March 17, 2025 meeting the Norwalk Water Pollution Control Authority closed a repeated public hearing, approved updated sewer rates effective July 1, scheduled a public hearing for a sanitary sewer extension at 2 Mueller Avenue and approved minutes from Feb. 18 with one abstention.
The Norwalk Water Pollution Control Authority closed a repeated public hearing, approved new sewer rates to take effect July 1, 2025, scheduled a public hearing for a sanitary sewer extension at 2 Mueller Avenue and approved its Feb. 18 meeting minutes (one abstention) during its March 17, 2025 meeting.
The authority first completed roll call and confirmed a quorum before taking procedural votes. A motion to close the public hearing—made because no members of the public appeared to speak—was approved by voice vote. The clerk recorded the vote and the chair announced, “Bovee, Smith, Frayer, Dunn passes unanimously.”
On a separate motion the board approved revised sewer rates that were posted in the legal notice; the chair announced the motion passed unanimously. The board then voted to schedule a public hearing for April 21, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. on a proposed sanitary sewer extension for 2 Mueller Avenue; that scheduling motion passed by a unanimous voice vote.
The board also approved the Feb. 18, 2025 meeting minutes. One member stated they had not attended the Feb. 18 meeting and abstained; the motion to approve the minutes otherwise passed.
Other procedural business—including a motion to adjourn at 5:54 p.m.—was approved by voice vote.
