Council limits water and sewer rate increases for low‑usage customers through 2032
Summary
Council approved a resolution restricting rate increases on water and sewer customers using less than 8,000 gallons per month until Jan. 1, 2032; the motion passed unanimously.
Council approved a resolution that restricts rate increases for water and sewer customers who use fewer than 8,000 gallons per month through January 1, 2032. The resolution was presented as a second reading and approved by roll call with all seven members voting in favor.
The action promises short‑term protection for low‑usage households while leaving broader rate-setting authority in place for other customer classes. No specific fiscal offsets or revenue estimates tied to the restriction were provided during the meeting minutes; the measure passed 7–0 and will remain in effect until the stated date unless amended by future Council action.
Council did not discuss detailed implementation steps at the meeting; staff will follow up on administrative application and notification procedures if needed.
