Demorest officials say Baldwin will increase wholesale water rates 2.5% effective Jan. 1, 2025
Summary
City Manager Mark Musselwhite told the council a letter from the City of Baldwin notifies Demorest of a 2.5% wholesale water-rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2025. Council members were informed so they can assess budgetary and utility-rate implications ahead of next year.
City Manager Mark Musselwhite told the Demorest City Council on Oct. 1 that the City of Baldwin plans to increase its wholesale water rates by 2.5% effective Jan. 1, 2025. Musselwhite presented a letter from Baldwin notifying Demorest of the change and said staff posted the notice to the council for planning purposes.
The notice was presented as part of routine utility updates and no formal action was taken at the work session. Musselwhite answered council questions about the letter and its timing; the meeting record does not include an estimate of how the change would affect Demorest’s retail rates or the city’s revenue projections.
Mayor Jerry Harkness called on council members to follow up with Musselwhite with any questions or recommendations before the next meeting. The item will return to council for any required policy or budget decisions if staff recommends adjustments.
