Lancaster delays water and sewer rate changes until spring; public hearing planned for January
Summary
The Select Board agreed to leave water and sewer rates unchanged for the fall billing after finding revenues compare favorably to expenditures. The board will meet again to consider changes for spring billing and set a public hearing in January.
The Select Board reviewed current water and sewer revenues and expenditures and agreed to keep rates unchanged for the fall billing cycle, noting that revenues are looking good compared with expenditures. Members directed staff to schedule another meeting to consider rate adjustments for the spring billing and to set a public hearing in January to take public input before any change.
No formal vote or rate ordinance was recorded in the minutes; the action is recorded as a board consensus to postpone changes until further study. The board cited revenue‑to‑expenditure comparisons as the basis for deferring adjustments and asked staff to return with proposals for spring and a public hearing date in January.
