North Caldwell council adopts sewer‑billing ordinance, approves 10% rate increase effective in June
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance O-7-2026 to amend the borough code on sewer billing; officials said the ordinance raises sewer charges by 10%, effective with the next billing cycle in June, and the vote was unanimous (5-0).
The Mayor and Council of the Borough of North Caldwell voted to adopt Ordinance O-7-2026 on May 12, 2026, amending the borough code regarding sewer billing. Council President Anthony Floria‑Callori stated that "the increase of 10% would be effective with the next change cycle in June." Councilman Matthew Atlas moved to adopt the ordinance and Councilwoman Suzanne Corbo seconded; the motion carried unanimously with five affirmative votes.
Borough Administrator Glenn Domenick told the council the increase is intended to offset recent provider charges and past shortfalls; he said the borough had previously budgeted for a 7% increase but that actual charges from Caldwell Sewer exceeded that amount. Council members discussed that the 10% adjustment is a step to account for provider increases and that Domenick will continue to negotiate with service providers.
