Board approves small water-rate increase tied to City of Troy purchase price
Summary
The Town Board approved Resolution 2025-01-06 implementing an increase in town water user rates to reflect a price change from the City of Troy; Councilwoman Kelly Hoffman asked whether the town can negotiate Troy's contract rate.
The Town Board approved a water-rate increase on Jan. 9 to reflect an increase by the City of Troy in the town’s wholesale water purchase price.
The motion to establish the increase passed by poll vote. Meeting minutes note a correction to Troy’s letter to ".15 cents" and record Councilwoman Kelly Hoffman asking whether the town could discuss the contract rate with Troy. "I wanted to know if we can discuss the contract rate," Hoffman said; Michael Chairs (recorded in the minutes) said he could contact Troy to discuss recent increases.
No dollar-per-customer figures or the town’s new published rate were included in the minutes; board members directed staff to follow up with Troy and to provide details to the board for possible negotiation.
