From the meeting

Staff said water and wastewater rates needed to be reevaluated because of a wastewater budget shortfall, rising operating costs, higher sludge disposal rental costs, and deferred maintenance. 5% water rate increase and a 10% annual wastewater rate increase, and staff asked to move the implementation date to October 1. Staff also said they were working with Waterworth software on a complete rate analysis and planned a major rate study to better match true costs and revenue.

Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
