FY27 Proposed Municipal Utility System Budget
The board adopted next year's utility budget: $82.6 million in revenue against $76.9 million in expenses. It includes year three of phased water/wastewater rate increases, staff raises, and two new positions — and keeps reserves at roughly twice the required 90-day level.
