Resident urges council to press Clarksburg Water Board on rate hike and $19 million balance
Summary
Resident Dennis Dutchess told the council he plans to attend a Dec. 17 Clarksburg Water Board meeting over a proposed rate increase and questioned the board holding about $19 million without responding to his requests for clarification.
Dennis Dutchess, speaking during public comment, said he was unable to speak at the recent Clarksburg Water Board meeting and urged the Nutter Fort council to follow up on a proposed water rate increase. He told council members he has asked board members for clarification and received no response and that he plans to attend the CWB meeting on 12/17/2025 at 6 p.m. and invite local media. Mayor Rezin Hudkins, IV told the council he has requested a meeting with the water board that has not yet occurred.
Dutchess flagged the board's roughly $19 million balance as a point of concern and asked that local officials seek more information before rates change. No formal council action was taken at this meeting; the item was raised as public comment and the mayor noted the request for further discussion with the Clarksburg Water Board.
