Afton staff report progress on Comprehensive Master Plan and utility projects; SRF loan will require new water rates July 1
Summary
Town Administrator Violet Sanderson said Planning and Zoning is prepared to start the Comprehensive Master Plan with budgeted funds; Utility Director Josh Peavler said SRF loan approval requires a new water‑rate structure effective July 1, 2026, and reported meter replacement progress, staff training and scheduled PFAS sampling.
Town Administrator Violet Sanderson told the council the Planning and Zoning Board is prepared to begin work on a Comprehensive Master Plan; funding is allocated in the upcoming fiscal‑year budget and there is remaining community development funding in the current year to allow planning work to start before the new fiscal year.
Utility Director Josh Peavler updated the council on several utility items: there was no Utility Board meeting after spring break; approval of an SRF (State Revolving Fund) loan will require adoption of a new water‑rate structure that will take effect on July 1, 2026; meter replacements are underway; half of utility department staff will attend continuing education in Casper next week; Wyoming DEQ PFAS sampling and training are scheduled for April 28; and four significant deficiencies identified in the 97,000‑gallon tank project have been corrected and approved by EPA.
The minutes do not list the proposed new rates or the SRF loan amount; the council did not record a formal vote on rates at this meeting. Staff indicated the schedule for rate changes and additional technical work will follow the SRF loan approval process.
