Rogersville to raise water and sewer rates in March; ordinance to set new amounts at next meeting
Summary
The City of Rogersville reviewed a COLA-based water and sewer rate increase scheduled to begin March 2026; an ordinance to update the code with specific dollar amounts will be presented at the next meeting.
Administrator Chad Bybee told the Board of Aldermen that rates set to increase under a 2024 provision will rise beginning in March 2026 and that an ordinance formally updating the city code will be presented at the next meeting.
Bybee listed the proposed new dollar amounts to be codified: inside-city minimum usage (active meters) from $16.00 to $16.45; inside per-gallon rate from $0.006 to $0.0062; outside-city minimum from $24.00 to $24.68; outside per-gallon from $0.009 to $0.0093; sewer minimum charge from $13.99 to $14.38; and sewer charge per 1,000 gallons from $4.37 to $4.49. The minutes record that the ordinance will be used to update the code book at a future meeting.
No formal vote on the ordinance amounts was taken at the March 2 meeting. The board recorded the rate listing for future formalization; customers should expect the changes to take effect in March per the 2024 provision cited in the minutes.
