Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025-37 increasing water and sewer base rates using the South Dakota CPI (2.9%) and passing through commodity increases from MCWC (commodity 1,000-gallon rate cited at $3.83).
Staff presented Resolution 2025-37 to adopt water and sewer base rates. The council used the South Dakota CPI of 2.9% for operating increases and passed along supplier commodity changes: staff said the supplier commodity rose from $3.38 to $3.83 per 1,000 gallons and described the operating component as approximately $2.90. The council adopted the resolution by roll call.
