Budget PlanningUtilitiesDetected Jun 25, 2026

The June 25, 2026 agenda includes the first reading of Ordinance 2026-12, an ordinance setting water and sewer rates for the City of Fulton and the water district. Adjusting rates typically supports long-term capital planning, system maintenance, and potential debt service for upcoming water and wastewater projects. While no specific capital project is listed, the rate-setting process signals that the City is aligning utility revenues with current and future infrastructure needs.Vendors offering utility financial planning, rate studies, asset management, and capital improvement planning can explore how the City intends to use new rates to fund system upgrades, replacements, or compliance projects.

Rate changes often precede or accompany bond issuances, infrastructure grants, or major capital improvement programs in water and sewer systems.
