Ordinance 2026-1102 amends Waitsburg’s municipal code to adjust water and sewer rates, including automatic annual increases and specific surcharges to fund planned waterline improvements. 00 per user per month added starting with January 2027 billing to cover debt service on waterline projects. The ordinance also sets substantial water and sewer system connection charges and requires that new service connections be installed by certified/bonded contractors rather than city crews.This combination signals a long-term capital program for water and sewer infrastructure where the city will rely on outside contractors for new connections and where consultants can provide capital planning, rate analysis, and project delivery support.

Ordinance explicitly states that City public works will no longer perform water and sewer line installations; customers must hire certified/bonded contractors and pay inspection fees.
