Utility staff confirmed the City of Waverly will discontinue its cable/video service effective Oct. 1, 2026, and outlined customer-notification and transition plans.
A presenter told the board, "The cable services will end here in October 2026," and staff said they will continue to notify affected customers and provide assistance in moving to alternative providers.
