Resident warns Nutter Fort council that water-rate hike would hit fixed-income households
Summary
During the Nov. 7 workshop on Ordinance 2025-04, resident Rick Miller told the council the proposed water-rate increases are "badly affecting" people on fixed incomes. Councilors heard public testimony and filed questions but did not take action.
At the Town of Nutter Fort’s Nov. 7 workshop on a proposed water-rate increase, resident Rick Miller addressed councilors during public comment and said the proposed increases are having a serious impact on people living on fixed incomes. Miller urged council members to weigh affordability consequences before adopting any rate changes.
Jennifer Robinson also addressed the council with a question about how Senate Bill 234 affects the town's rate-setting obligations and audit exposure. Councilors heard the public comments and asked clarifying questions of consultant Zack Dobbins; the workshop ended without a vote. The record does not show follow-up mitigation measures or a schedule for affordability analysis; those items remain to be addressed in subsequent meetings.
