Denton board previews proposed three‑year water and sewer rate increases
Summary
Trustees discussed proposing three‑year water and sewer rate ordinances at the next meeting: water plan with a $7 annual increase to the flat rate plus $1/1,000‑gallon each year; sewer flat increases of $4, $5 and $5 over three years; Nebraska Rural Water Association to be invited to explain the rate study.
At the Jan. 5 meeting the Denton Board of Trustees discussed planned water and sewer rate ordinance proposals and scheduling a presentation from Nebraska Rural Water Association. The board indicated it will introduce ordinances at the next meeting reflecting a three‑year water increase consisting of a $7 annual increase to the flat water rate and $1 per 1,000 gallons of usage each year, and sewer flat rate increases of $4 (year 1), $5 (year 2) and $5 (year 3).
Trustees asked staff to invite Randy Hellbush of Nebraska Rural Water Association to attend the next meeting to detail the rate study. The discussion was preliminary: no ordinance was introduced or voted on at the Jan. 5 meeting; the board signaled intent to consider the proposed multi‑year adjustment at a future meeting where the ordinance text and fiscal analysis will be presented.
