Ronceverte tables proposed changes to water and wastewater tap and reconnection fees
Summary
Council reviewed Ordinance 2025-01 proposing modifications to water and wastewater tap and reconnection fees but voted unanimously to table further consideration until staff can provide rate comparisons from other municipalities and Water Department Director Steve Williams can attend.
Ronceverte City Council reviewed Ordinance 2025-01, which would modify certain water and wastewater tap and reconnection fees, and voted Jan. 13 to table further consideration pending additional information and staff availability.
City Recorder Leah Smith moved to table the ordinance until the council could review comparable rates from other municipalities and until Steve Williams, the city's water department director, could be present to discuss the proposal; Gail White seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to table the ordinance.
Why it matters: changes to tap and reconnection fees can affect residents and contractors who need to connect or restore water service; council members asked for comparative data and a staff briefing to inform any future action. The minutes do not include proposed fee levels or a timetable for when the item will return to the agenda.
Next steps: the ordinance is tabled until staff compiles comparative municipal rates and Director Steve Williams can present; no return date was specified in the minutes.
