Fairhaven approves new water and sewer rates
Summary
The select board approved new water and sewer rates during the meeting, including a water rate described at the meeting as $8.46 per thousand gallons (base $38.50) and a sewer rate described as $14.28 per thousand (base $25). The motion passed by voice vote.
The Fairhaven Select Board voted to adopt updated water and sewer rates after a staff presentation on system costs and recent usage.
A staff member recommended a water rate "at $8.46 per thousand gallons with improved base rate of $38.50," and a sewer rate "of $14.28 per thousand gallon with ... base rate of $25." Board members moved, seconded and approved the rates by voice vote.
The presentation noted recent reductions in some overall costs and the need to fund ongoing maintenance and the Markowski waterline project. The board did not take a roll-call vote; members signaled approval by saying "Aye."
