Arnold trustees approve higher monthly water and sewer customer charges
Summary
The Board voted to raise the monthly customer charge for water from $16.50 to $19.00 and sewer from $14.30 to $17.00; an ordinance to effect the change will be on the Feb. 10 agenda.
At the Jan. 13 meeting, the Village of Arnold Board of Trustees approved a motion to raise the monthly customer charge for water and sewer services.
Village Clerk Patricia Lamberty reported fund balances and current rates: a Water Fund balance of $27,240.50 and a Sewer Fund balance of $45,524.49 as of Dec. 31, 2024. She stated the current water customer charge is $16.50 plus $1.00 per 1,000 gallons and the current sewer charge is $14.30 per month plus $1.20 per 1,000 gallons based on winter usage. After discussion, the Board moved to increase the monthly customer charge to $19.00 for water and $17.00 for sewer. The motion passed on a roll call vote with all trustees voting in favor.
The Board recorded that an ordinance revising water and sewer rates will be placed on the Feb. 10 agenda for formal enactment. The transcript does not specify the effective date of the ordinance or any changes to volumetric rates beyond the customer charge; those details were recorded as "to be addressed" at the February meeting.
