Mosier council adopts modest utility rate increases for 2025-26
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-08 setting water rates up 2% and sewer rates up 1.5% for the fiscal year 2025-26, following a presentation from Finance Director Monica Morris based on the FCS rate study.
Finance Director Monica Morris presented the annual utility rate recommendations drawn from the FCS rate study, proposing a 2% increase to water rates and a 1.5% increase to sewer rates for fiscal year 2025-26. Councilor Charlie Cannon said he had polled surrounding areas and expressed concern that Mosier customers pay higher rates; Mayor Witt Anderson explained that the city's smaller customer base contributes to higher per-customer costs.
The council voted to adopt Resolution 2025-08 establishing the new utility rates and system development charges. The resolution passed unanimously. Staff will implement the new rates for the upcoming fiscal year and include the changes in utility billing schedules.
