Council limits rate increases for small water/sewer users through 2032
Summary
A resolution restricting water and sewer rate increases for customers using less than 8,000 gallons per month until Jan. 1, 2032, passed unanimously. Council framed the measure as targeted relief for smaller residential users.
The council approved a resolution that restricts rate increases on water and sewer accounts that use less than 8,000 gallons per month until Jan. 1, 2032.
The resolution (Item 4 on the agenda) was described by the agenda reader and moved, seconded and adopted on roll call. The motion was recorded on the transcript as passing with affirmative 'Yay' votes from council members present. A speaker summarized the rule as aimed at small-volume customers and framed it as short-term protection from rate increases.
The resolution language on the agenda was shortened for printing, and council discussed whether the printed agenda needed amendment; staff confirmed public notices matched the full agenda. The measure takes effect immediately in restricting rate changes for the defined small-usage class through the specified date.
