Staff outlines HydroCore proposals: five-year plan cheaper per month than three-year option
Summary
Staff summarized HydroCore’s sewer-rate options: a five-year plan would raise base rates by roughly $2+ per month totaling about $149,000, while a three-year plan would raise rates about $3.80 per month totaling $169,000; HydroCore offered references and described broader service scope.
Staff reviewed HydroCore’s two proposals for survey and service support: a five-year option that would require a roughly $2-per-month increase and total about $149,000, and a three-year option that would require about $3.80 per month and total roughly $169,000. Staff said the five-year plan is actually cheaper overall even with a 4% increase, and that HydroCore’s service offers more than just the survey component.
An outside presenter (HydroCore representative, Speaker 10) offered to provide references and said the firm typically supplements local utility departments with staffing and service capacity. Commissioners asked staff to check references and reach out to similar municipalities to better understand outcomes under each plan.
