Boyceville board tables proposed sewer rate increase
Summary
At its March 9 meeting the Village of Boyceville board heard figures on a proposed sewer rate increase from Clerk-Treasurer Brittany Halvorson and decided to table the issue for further review and coordination with Public Works.
The Village of Boyceville Board met on March 9, 2026, at Village Hall and tabled consideration of a proposed sewer rate increase after the clerk presented preliminary figures for the board to review. Village Clerk-Treasurer Brittany Halvorson presented the rate information and said staff and Public Works are continuing analysis of the numbers and operational impacts.
Why it matters: sewer-rate changes affect household utility bills and the utility’s ability to pay for repairs and capital work. Trustees said they wanted more time to review the data and coordinate with Public Works before taking formal action.
During the discussion the clerk summarized components under review, including recent Public Works repairs and known capital needs such as the Lift Station 2 pump rebuild currently being handled by LW Allen. No formal vote on a rate change took place; the board directed that the proposal be returned for further review at a future meeting.
Next steps: the board expects staff and Public Works to refine the revenue/expense analyses and present updated figures at the next regular meeting. No effective or implementation dates were set because no ordinance, resolution, or formal motion to adopt rates was made.
