Committee backs 18% sewer-rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2026
Summary
The committee authorized a sewer utility rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2026; packet and Board of Public Works recommended an 18% increase, according to Public Works staff, and the committee approved recommending the rate change to the Village Board by voice vote.
The Village of Jackson Budget & Finance Committee on Nov. 11 recommended authorization of a sewer-utility rate increase to take effect Jan. 1, 2026.
A memo in the committee packet and a recommendation from the Board of Public Works supported the change. Public Works staff member Jack told the committee, "18% was the increase that was brought to Board of Public Works." Committee members moved and seconded the recommendation and approved it by voice vote; no roll-call tally by name was recorded in the committee minutes.
The committee action is a recommendation to the Village Board; the Village Board must formally set rates. The committee record does not include the detailed rate schedule or the impact to an average residential bill; those details were not included in the transcript and should be confirmed in the Board of Public Works or rate analysis packet materials.
