Rate Expert
To ensure that we are operating our water and sewer systems in a sustainable financial position, the borough council has decided to engage a “Rate Expert” in helping to determine the appropriate rates for water and sewer services. The study will model out the rate structure over the next 5 years. This is important to not only have systems are that financially stable today and into the future, but also to build up a reserve to address issues that will arise. These systems have been operating at almost breakeven for years with no reserve funds. This is not sustainable for any business. As a result of this decision, all rates will remain at the 2025 levels for the first quarter. The plan is to have the study completed and presented to council no later than the April meeting. Council will then decide and set rates to be effective for the second quarter (starting April 2026).
