The Town of Lapel scheduled a public hearing and special meeting on June 15, 2026 to consider amendments to its Unified Development Ordinance, with specific reference to a wastewater rate ordinance available for public review. This indicates the town is actively reviewing its land use regulations and wastewater utility rate structure, which often precedes updates to infrastructure plans, capital projects, and related consulting or technical work. No vendor, project budget, or specific construction scope is defined yet; the process is at the policy and rate-setting stage.For vendors in utility rate consulting, infrastructure planning, or development code modernization, this is a signal that Lapel may need analytical support, financial modeling, and eventual engineering or system upgrades tied to revised wastewater rates. A practical next step would be to engage the Clerk-Treasurer or planning staff after the hearing to understand whether follow-on studies, implementation support, or ordinance codification services will be needed.

The wastewater rate ordinance text is available at Town Hall, suggesting a formal rate study or draft framework is already prepared internally or by an outside consultant.
