Suamico board adopts 2026 water and sewer utility budgets, approves fee schedule
Summary
The Suamico Village Board adopted resolutions 25026 and 25027 to approve the 2026 water and sewer utility budgets and an updated fee schedule effective Jan. 1, 2026; the board recorded unanimous roll‑call approval and the sewer rate changes include a 3% volume increase and a 6% fixed charge increase tied to Green Bay Met charges.
The Suamico Village Board voted on Dec. 15 to adopt the 2026 water and sewer utility budgets and an updated fee schedule, approving two resolutions presented by public works staff.
Public works staff summarized the water utility projection for 2026–2030 and said the 2026 water budget does not currently include a rate increase, though an increase is included in early estimates for 2027 depending on final bids for a new well and water tower. Staff reported projected operating cash of roughly $875,000 and noted an estimated water impact fee balance of about $25,000.
For the sewer utility, staff proposed a 3% volume rate increase, moving the volume charge from $10.56 to $10.88 per 1,000 gallons for 2026, and a 6% increase to the fixed Green Bay Metropolitan rate (from $17.42 to $18.47). Staff said those changes produce a small overall increase in operating revenues (about 0.5%) and that the projected change in net position for 2026 is a decrease of about $126,000; projected operating cash for the sewer utility was reported at approximately $2,200,000.
Trustees moved to adopt Resolutions 25026 and 25027 together; after roll call the motion carried unanimously as recorded (6–0). The board also clarified agenda typographical errors that listed 2024 in a line item; staff confirmed the resolutions were for the 2026 budgets.
The resolutions adopt the budgets and implement the fee adjustments effective Jan. 1, 2026; trustees asked staff to continue reporting cash‑flow days and to provide updated debt‑service schedules once final borrowing and bid results are available.
