The Madrid Town Board voted April 9 to adopt proposed increases to the town's water and sewer usage rates.
Town Board member Kevin Finnegan moved to adopt the schedule presented at the meeting; Clark Putman seconded and "all were in favor," according to the meeting record. The rate tables reviewed at the meeting show tiered charges and note explicitly that "all rates shown are adjusted by (+10%) from the current rates." The water schedule lists a minimum access charge shown as $17.69 for 0–2,000 gallons and progressively lower per-thousand-gallon charges for higher tiers. The sewer table lists a minimum shown as $19.53 for 0–2,000 gallons with tiered per-thousand-gallon charges thereafter.
Board members did not record dissent. The motion to adopt the increases was passed as presented; the minutes do not state an effective date beyond the motion. The action was taken during routine agenda business at the April 9 meeting.
