Council approves modest water-rate changes in ordinance amending utility schedule
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance amending the water utility rate schedule to adjust rates and fees for customers; discussion noted the increase was relatively small but reflective of rising water costs.
Council reviewed ordinance 20260103 to amend the water utility rate schedule for residential, commercial and industrial customers. Members discussed components such as a capital improvement charge and modest per-unit changes. One member summarized the change as a modest increase, noting the council was "facing 25¢ on our rates," and discussion indicated the change was intended to keep pace with rising water costs.
Council moved to adopt the ordinance and the motion passed by voice vote. No specific billing implementation date was included in the public discussion recorded in the transcript; staff indicated rate schedules and facts would be included in the formal ordinance documents that accompany billing.
