Hillsborough commission approves water-rate notice to be mailed with August bills
Summary
The Water & Sewer Commission approved a letter about a water-rate increase to be sent with August 2024 bills; the notice was approved for distribution but the rate amount was not specified in the minutes.
The Town of Hillsborough Water & Sewer Commission on July 23 reviewed and approved a letter about a water-rate increase to be sent with the August 2024 bills. The approval was recorded without a noted dissent; the minutes do not specify the magnitude or effective date of the rate change.
The action was recorded after Commissioner Dave Lewis joined the meeting. The minutes state the Commission "reviewed and approved" the letter; no mover/second is shown. Penny Griffin, Water and Sewer Administrator, is listed as present and recorded other operational items during the meeting.
Why it matters: a mailed notice signals an upcoming change that will affect water customers, but the minutes do not include the increased rate or the date of effect. The Commission did not record further details in the minutes, such as a public hearing date, billing timetable, or the exact rate change.
Next steps: the letter will be sent with the August bills per the minutes. The Commission did not specify additional outreach or a follow-up vote in the record. Residents seeking the rate amount or effective date should consult the Town for the full notice or upcoming agenda materials.
