Mayor: Utility plans 32% water rate increase; Loami board to weigh ordinance in April
Summary
Mayor Steven Lambert told trustees that City, Light and Power (CWLP) will increase the village’s water rate by 32% in April 2025; the board agreed a committee will draft an ordinance for consideration at the April meeting.
Mayor Steven Lambert said City, Light and Power (CWLP) will raise the village water rate by 32% in April 2025, and he asked the board to consider how the village should respond. After a brief discussion trustees agreed that a committee would prepare an ordinance proposing an adjustment to the village water rate for the April meeting on April 10, 2025.
The potential rate increase is a direct operational cost passed to the village by the regional utility; officials did not set a proposed local rate in the meeting record. The board’s next step is procedural: a committee will draft language and present an ordinance for board consideration at the next regular meeting.
