Bloomville Board of Public Affairs says it will assess $15.44 monthly sewer improvement charge for all sewer-connected properties
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Bloomville Board of Public Affairs announced it will assess a $15.44 monthly Sewer Improvement charge for all properties connected to the sewer system, affecting both active and inactive accounts; the transcript does not record an effective date or a recorded vote.
The Bloomville Board of Public Affairs announced on Feb. 3 that it will assess a $15.44 monthly Sewer Improvement charge for every property connected to the municipal sewer system, covering both active and inactive accounts.
The declaration came during New Business at the board's regular meeting; the record states the amount and that the charge applies to all sewer-connected properties but does not specify an effective date, who formally moved or seconded the action on the record, or a vote tally. President Logan Reinhart presided at the meeting.
Why it matters: a flat monthly charge applied to all sewer-connected properties will increase recurring utility bills for residents and property owners and may generate revenue for system maintenance or upgrades. The transcript does not specify how the revenue will be used, whether the charge replaces or supplements existing fees, or when charges will first appear on accounts.
Board members in attendance were Justin Showman and Brian Rombach; Water/Sewer Operator Levi Webster and Clerk Jaimie Costein were also present. The meeting record names the contractor for an unrelated pool project and notes an upcoming RCAP pilot training but gives no further financial detail tied to the new charge.
The transcript line recording the charge reads: "The Board of Public Affairs will now assess a $15.44 monthly Sewer Improvement charge for all properties connected to the sewer system, which affects both active and inactive accounts." The board's minutes do not include an implementation schedule or vote roll call in the provided excerpt.
The board set its next meeting for Feb. 17, 2026; the minutes do not indicate whether the charge will be brought back for further discussion at that meeting.
