Nutter Fort council adopts Clarksburg pass-through water rate increase
Summary
After a public hearing, the Nutter Fort Town Council adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to implement a water rate pass-through from the Clarksburg Water Board; town officials said they cannot absorb the increase and residents were told additional increases from Clarksburg are expected next year.
The Nutter Fort Town Council on Dec. 9, 2025 adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to amend the town’s schedule of rates and charges for water service, implementing a pass-through of charges recently adopted by the Clarksburg Water Board.
Council opened a public hearing on the ordinance and fielded questions from a resident who asked why the timing of the rate adjustment was occurring during a period when households face financial strain. Officials clarified the town is not initiating a new separate increase but is passing through charges from Clarksburg; the initial Clarksburg increase took effect Nov. 1, 2025, and town staff said additional increases from Clarksburg are anticipated next year though Clarksburg had not provided exact amounts at the hearing. The council unanimously approved the ordinance on second reading.
