After a detailed presentation on FY27 forecasts showing proposed 7.5% water and about 15% sewer increases, the Board of Public Works voted to table final action and hold a joint meeting with the Select Board on July 13 to review supporting analyses and outreach materials.

At a June 17 hearing, staff proposed a 5% water-rate increase and a 10% sewer-rate increase (effective July 1, 2026), citing higher purchased‑water costs from Lafayette and ongoing sewer operating losses despite rate changes.
