Canton adopts 2025 water and sewer rate increases; one councilmember opposes
Summary
Council chose Option 4 for water and sewer rates for 2025 and adopted Resolutions 2024‑16 and 2024‑17; the motion passed with Councilmember Dowling recorded as opposed and the minutes do not list new numeric rates.
The Canton City Council voted to raise both water and sewer rates for 2025, selecting “Option 4” from staff proposals presented by Clerk Anne Koliha. The council adopted Resolution 2024‑16 (sewer rate increase for 2025) and Resolution 2024‑17 (water rate increase for 2025).
Mayor Nordsving moved the rate action with Councilmember Jason Magnuson seconding. The minutes record the motion carried with Councilmember Jen Dowling opposed; the meeting record does not include a roll‑call tally or the exact new rates under Option 4.
Clerk Koliha previously outlined two options for each utility; the council’s selection of Option 4 was presented as a revenue and rate change strategy for the 2025 budget. The minutes do not specify implementation dates beyond labeling the resolutions as 2025 rate changes. Council did not discuss numeric rate figures in detail in the recorded minutes, and the exact new monthly or volumetric amounts are not specified.
