Denton board eyes three‑year water and sewer rate increases; expert to be invited
Summary
Trustees discussed a proposed three‑year schedule of water and sewer rate increases and agreed to invite a Nebraska Rural Water Association representative to explain a rate study at the next meeting; ordinances will be introduced at the following session.
Trustees discussed proposed multi‑year adjustments to water and sewer rates and signaled intent to introduce rate ordinances at the board’s next meeting.
Trustee Amanda Fangmeier said the board should invite Randy Hellbush from the Nebraska Rural Water Association to the next meeting to explain the rate study and answer questions. The proposal described in minutes includes a three‑year water adjustment with a $7 annual increase to the flat water rate and a $1 per 1,000‑gallon increase each year, and sewer flat‑rate increases of $4 in year one, $5 in year two and $5 in year three.
No ordinances were introduced or voted on at the Jan. 5 meeting; the minutes indicate the board will present proposed Water and Sewer Rate Ordinances at the next meeting after the consultant’s presentation.
