Stonington trustees approve 3% water and sewer rate increase; ordinance language reviewed
Summary
The board approved a 3% increase to water and sewer rates consistent with existing ordinance language and reviewed rate tables that list a $12.36 base and $7.55 consumption charge (appearing as $7.55 per 1,000 gallons in one section and inconsistently as 'per gallon' elsewhere in the minutes).
The board discussed rates and approved a 3% increase to water and sewer charges as provided in the village ordinance. President Bruce Dowdy moved the proposal; Trustee Andrew Callan moved and Trustee Scott Kuntzman seconded the motion, which passed 5-0.
Minutes record ordinance text showing a base amount of $12.36, a water-consumption charge listed as $7.55 "per 1,000 gallons" after the minimum, a $13 maintenance charge, and outside-village minimums and additional 1,000‑gallon charges. The transcript also includes a line under Chapter 10 that reads "$7.55 per gallon," which conflicts with the earlier "per 1,000 gallons" phrasing; the minutes do not resolve that inconsistency. The board approved the 3% increase consistent with the sections cited (7.106, 7.107 and 10.901).
