Board discusses spreading sewer-rate increases over more steps to ease impact on residents
Summary
Administrator Curt Erickson reviewed a 3-step sewer rate study and proposed adding two smaller steps (making 4–5 steps) to "lesson the blow" to residents, signaling possible changes to how sewer-rate increases are phased in.
The Village Board reviewed Town & County Engineering’s sewer rate-study summary showing a three-step rate schedule. Village Administrator Curt Erickson told the board he was considering presenting a revised schedule at the next meeting that would add smaller intermediate steps "to lesson the blow" for residents by spreading increases across more tiers.
Erickson said a longer, more granular phase-in could reduce immediate utility-bill impacts but did not provide a specific new rate structure at the meeting. Board members did not take a vote; staff will bring a detailed proposal to a future meeting for formal consideration.
