Residents urge Three Oaks to weigh affordability and regional options amid water concerns
Summary
Public commenters at the May 26 special meeting urged the committee to consider water quality perceptions, affordability of planned rate increases, and the possibility of pursuing a regional water‑service feasibility study.
During public comment at the Village of Three Oaks Public Services Committee special meeting on May 26, 2025, members of the public raised concerns about both water quality perceptions and the affordability of planned rate increases. Commenters said the Village should communicate infrastructure needs and funding plans clearly to residents and asked the committee to consider how proposed rate changes would affect households and businesses.
Multiple speakers suggested exploring the option of obtaining water from neighboring communities and recommended a feasibility study to evaluate regional water service alternatives. The public comments influenced the committee’s next steps: the Committee requested estimates for a feasibility study and additional rate scenarios before making any recommendation to the Village Council.
