The county's water rate increases were already approved by both the Board and Council, but the earlier ordinance contained wrong dates. This corrected version doesn't change any rates — it just fixes the effective dates so the approved increases actually take effect. Council takes it up September 8 with a hearing September 29.
Board of Public Utilities Work Session — August 5, 2026
An administrative error forced the county to redo the water rate ordinance the council approved in June. Rates didn't change — just corrected effective dates, with new residential rates starting in October.
