Cairo board approves higher water usage rates, effective Oct. 1
Summary
The Town Board approved Resolution 2025-133 to increase quarterly water billing minimum charges and bulk rates effective October 1, 2025, citing water and sewer district revenues insufficient to meet expenditures.
Supervisor Watts offered Resolution 2025-133 to increase water usage rates for the Town of Cairo's water districts, noting that district revenues come solely from usage rates and are insufficient to meet expenditures. The resolution lists new minimum quarterly charges by meter size (for example, a 5/8 x 3/4 meter minimum $105.00 for 0–3,000 gallons; 1" meter $187.00) and a bulk rate of $11.90 per thousand gallons. The change is effective October 1, 2025.
The board approved the rate schedule unanimously. The minutes record the rate table and the effective date; members asked for the item to be placed on the July 7, 2025 board meeting for an update of rates as needed.
