Village approves $6 sewer rate increase to stop losses
Summary
Trustee Sam Jones told the board the sewer system has been losing money, and the board approved a $6 across-the-board sewer charge increase to be reviewed in six months.
Trustee Sam Jones told the board the village sewer fund was operating at a loss and recommended a $6 increase in the sewer charge for all customers. "The Village is losing money on their sewer system," Jones said during the meeting.
Trustees voted to increase the sewer rate by $6 and agreed to reevaluate the rate in six months (Motion 10). The board directed staff to monitor the fund to determine whether further adjustments are needed; no implementation date beyond the January approval was specified in the minutes.
