Summary
The Havre de Grace mayor and city council held a brief public hearing May 12 on Ordinance 1189 to establish water and sewer rates and fees for fiscal 2026; no public testimony or counsel comments were recorded and the hearing was closed.
Havre de Grace, Md. — The Havre de Grace mayor and city council on May 12 opened and closed a public hearing on Ordinance 1189, an ordinance to establish water and sewer rates and participation fees for users of the city's water and sewer system for fiscal year July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
The hearing matters because Ordinance 1189 would set user rates and service-participation fees that directly affect customers of the municipal water and sewer system.

Council Member Ringstalker, Council Member Robertson and Council Member Broker were present. No one from the public spoke at the hearing, and city counsel offered no comments. The council closed the hearing at 6:05 p.m.
The transcript does not record proposed rate amounts or a subsequent council vote to adopt rates; those details are not specified in the hearing record provided.
