From the meeting
The City Council of the City of Jefferson adopted an ordinance amending water and wastewater rates and fees for the city-owned waterworks and sanitary sewer system. The city said a study of utility service costs found current rates were not enough to cover operating and maintenance expenses, debt service, planned capital improvements, and reserves. The new rates take effect September 1, 2026 and also reset tap fees, deposits, reconnection fees, and late charges.
This is a billing and utility funding signal, with the next conversation around capital needs and future system upgrades rather than a procurement already selected.

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.
