Spring Lake Heights introduces proposed sewer and water rate adjustments; engineering consultant to present at Dec. 16 hearing
Summary
Ordinances 2024‑24 (sewer) and 2024‑25 (water) were introduced Nov. 18; Mayor Christopher Campion said the borough's water‑sewer engineering consultant will present details at the Dec. 16 public hearing and noted current rates align with the 2012 schedule.
On Nov. 18 the Spring Lake Heights Borough Council introduced Ordinance 2024‑24 (sewer rates) and Ordinance 2024‑25 (water rates), setting both for public hearing on Dec. 16, 2024.
Mayor Christopher Campion said the borough's water‑sewer engineering consultant will attend the Dec. 16 hearing to present details about the proposed adjustment to rates, and he noted the current water and sewer rates reflect the borough's 2012 schedule. Both ordinances were introduced by unanimous vote of the members present.
Why it matters: rate changes can affect household utility bills and municipal revenue. The Dec. 16 hearing will be the opportunity for officials to provide the engineering rationale and for residents to ask about bill impacts and timing. No final adoption vote was taken on Nov. 18; the ordinances remain at the introduction stage pending the hearing and further council action.
