- At its October 13, 2026 committee meeting, the council reviewed the sewer rate study and proposed rate adjustments. Staff recommended a one-time 4.81% increase for the 2027 budget and to schedule a full cost of service study (COSS) for early 2028. The packet says the sewer utility needs more revenue to support the capital improvement plan (CIP) and long-term cash flow. Ehlers was the study consultant, so this is a useful follow-on for rate, study, and utility finance work.
- The 2027 wastewater utility budget shows a net loss of $246,922 and includes future debt-backed work, including 2027 Treetop and WWTP 1. The utility detail also highlights lift station, treatment, laboratory, and collection system spending that points to ongoing maintenance and capital pressure. This is an open planning signal for treatment and sewer vendors. The next decision point is the November 17, 2026 budget hearing.
