Board abates scheduled automatic utility-rate increase for June billing
Summary
Citing Phase 2 of a planned water/sewer rate adjustment already set to take effect in June 2025, Sheffield trustees approved abating an automatic annual rate increase for the June billing cycle.
President Mary Lanham presented a proposal to abate the automatic annual utility-rate increase scheduled for June 2025 because Phase 2 of the water/sewer rates — based on the 2024 RCAP rate study — is already included in the June bills. Trustees voted to approve the abatement unanimously (AYES: Adams, Corwin, DeVoss, Pratt, Price, Yepsen).
The minutes state the abatement was approved "due to phase 2 of the utility rate increase already locked in for June 2025," indicating no additional automatic increase will be added for that billing cycle. No further details on new rate levels or customer notices appear in the minutes; staff follow-up or formal rate ordinance language was not recorded in the meeting notes.
